RFID equipment

Actually, upon closer inspection, this kit may bot be so much fun.

*Notes About the Reader before Purchasing:
The RFID Reader and Tags in this kit are READ ONLY.
The read range on the reader is 4 inches or less depending upon the  
tag you are using.
The reader cannot read multiple tags in the field at the same time.
Readers placed too close to each other will cause them to fail in  
operation. Allow at least a meter of distance between readers. For  
closer placement you must make use of the reader on/off feature to  
access one reader at a time.
The reader antenna cannot be detached from the RFID reader or altered  
in any way.

Lots of limitations I wouldn't like all that much. Thoughts on it?
