    Anyone tinker with RFID stuff here?

    I'm carrying no less than four RFID cards on me everyday, while punching in logins on my CF19. I want to embed a LF HID-compatible reader into the palmrest of my CF-19 or at least have an Expresscard or PCMCIA RFID reader. I have a smartcard PCMCIA module but of course, no smartcards. And just waving my phone with a disc tag on it over my laptop to log in is SUPER handy.. and nerdy. :)

    Something like this, but nothing sticking out since I can't close the cover! This one is HF 13.56MHz. Card Slot Reader - OMNIKEY 4121 CL - HID Global

    that's what I'm looking for! brilliant idea!
    But I would settle with the option of being able to get my fingerprint reader installed on my 19mk5... :D

    that's fine - I know the risks... I fiddled with a Proxmark3 board and large loop antennas that could pick out what's in your wallet from a couple feet away. It's interesting the trend isn't increasing (thankfully)...
