anyone else see the new Ford van/truck with an option for an RFID system- you tag all your tools, and the truck can tell you what’s missing before you leave the jobsite…
it’s in PopSci, I think… here’s a link:

Cool idea.
But unfortunately it won't tell you WHERE you left the danged tools.

Another BoingBoing reader?
I looked at the comments and it was a real killjoy: "Now thieves can just scan trucks for the most tools, blah, blah, blah."
I thought it was great, seeing as how everyone likes to "borrow" all of my tools when I'm onsite.
It's like OCD, only the letters are in alphabetical order like they're supposed to be.
