	I would like to hear that talk (especially in light of recent
articles about hacking RFID and RFID shielding) but I can't make
tomorrow night's meeting (family in town for a ceremony on Friday).

	I also may be available for a talk at a later date on wireless
security.  I recently presented this at a conference in Myrtle Beach.

	At that same conference was another speaker talking on an RFID
pilot project that had "less than stirling" results (results - not
currently cost effective or justifiable for their application).  Learned
a lot about problems and limitations and reliability of RFID.
