Journal UncleTogie's Journal: Would you take the Red pill or the Blue...?

Aside from being fairly useless, This also struck me as having the potential for some Big-Brotherish nonsense. What does the Horde think?

From the story:
http://today.reuters.com/news/articleinvesting.aspx?type=companyNews&storyID=2006-12-15T154308Z_01_N15295031_RTRIDST_0_IBM-PHARMACEUTICALS.XML

"IBM said on Friday it has developed technology to help drug distributors, manufacturers and retailers prevent counterfeit drugs from making their way into the market. The product works using an existing technology: radio frequency identification devices (RFID) that each have a unique ID transmitted via tiny radio antennas incorporated into a drug's packaging."

Anyone else think this will really help, or will the RFID tags just be cloned on the fake pharmaceuticals?
