"You can't give Richard a visible RF ID strip without expecting him to 
protest. Richard acquired an entire roll of aluminum foil and wore his 
foil-shielded pass prominently. He willingly unwrapped it to go through 
any of the visible check-points, he simply objected to the potential 
that people might be reading the RF ID without his knowledge and 
tracking him around the grounds. This, again, is a legitimate gripe, 
handled with Richard's usual highly-visible, guile-less and absolutely 
un-subtle style of non-violent protest.

...

Apparently, UN Security would not allow Richard to leave the room."
