Frankly, we're disappointed. It's 2008, the veritable future, and you still don't have an RFID-based automatic sliding doggie door? For shame! The Plexidor Electronic Doggie Door allows for all that nice canine coming and going with none of the less-nice house robbing a regular flap door enables. Your dog gets to wear an RFID chip on his collar, which lets the door know to automatically slide up when he shows up -- hopefully with a sort of squeegee sound to complete the sci-fi effect. Prices range from $700 to $800 depending on configuration.

The subject is required 
 
How exactly is that *worse* than a normal doggie door? 
 
I can just imagine what your grandfather said, when they first invented car door locks. 
 
1.) mug owner / poison owner 
2.) steal car keys 
3.) open car door 
4.) rob car 
 
Luckily, in the real world they only deploy solutions for problems that can never be hijacked. That's why no one uses door locks in this day and age.

Cost 
 
? $700 - $800, ya gotta be joking! 
 
The only way consumers will start taking an interest in RFID, is when prices climb off their high horses. 
 
You've got $100 worth of hardware there "max", but even at $199, most people will stick to doing it themselves.
