Militant Canadians

I got a DVD in the post today from Play (Last Star Fighter - sweeet!) which had come all the way from Canada. I know this because it had a sticker on the side saying "Only for sale in Canada - Security device enclosed!". Needless to say I opened the case with some caution. I had visions of a maple syrup bomb going off in my face, but no, nothing.

I took out the DVD all was fine. Then I noticed an RFID chip. My first reaction was one of mild disdain - how is that going to stop international DVD sales? But, I thought with increasing fear, this RFID could be really strong, beaming out the location of this illicit DVD to a Canadian spy satellite! I await a call from the Mounties, they always get their man....
