Tamper sensitive RFID tag

1. A tamper resistant RFID tag for securement to an associated object, said RFID tag comprising:

a. a housing having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the housing defines at least one channel extending through the housing;

b. said channel configured to receive a portion of an object to which the RFID tag is secured; and

c. an RFID device affixed between the first portion and the second portion of the housing, wherein the RFID device is affixed to the first portion of the housing using a first adhesive having a first bond strength and the RFID device is affixed to the second portion of the housing using a second adhesive having a second bond strength, and wherein the first bond strength is different from the second bond strength.

2. The RFID tag as in claim 1 , wherein the second bond strength is greater than the first bond strength.

3. The RFID tag as in claim 1 , wherein said object is a spoke of a bicycle wheel.

4. The RFID tag as in claim 1 , further including an informational notice on at least one outer surface of the housing providing identification of the RFID device therein.

5. The RFID tag as in claim 1 , wherein the RFID device and housing are configured such that separating the first and second portions of the housing destroys a functionality of the RFID device.

6. The RFID tag as claimed in claim 5 , wherein separation of the first and second portions of the housing causes a first portion of the RFID device to remain adhered to the first portion of the housing and a second portion of the RFID device to remain adhered to the second portion of the housing.

7. The RFID tag as claimed in claim 5 , wherein separation of the first and second portions of the housing is required in order to remove the RFID tag from the associated object.

8. The RFID tag as in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second portions of the housing includes at least one score that facilitates damage to the housing when the first and second portions of the housing are separated.

9. The RFID tag as in claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a reflector on at least one outer surface of the housing.

10. The RFID tag as in claim 1 , wherein the RFID tag is securable to the object without tools.

11. The RFID tag as in claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the housing has a press-fit engagement or a snap-fit engagement with the second portion of the housing.

12. The RFID tag as in claim 1 , wherein the channel extends between an upper edge and a lower edge of the housing.

13. The RFID tag as in claim 1 , further comprising at least two channels, the at least two channels being configured to accommodate adjacent spokes of a bicycle wheel.

14. An RFID tag for securement to a bicycle, said RFID tag comprising:

a. a housing having first and second portions;

b. a channel through the housing that is configured to receive at least a portion of the bicycle;

c. an RFID device;

d. the housing encapsulating at least a portion of the RFID device;

e. the RFID tag being configured to be attached to the bicycle in such a way that removing the RFID tag from the portion of the bicycle causes the RFID device to stop functioning;

wherein removing the RFID tag from the portion of the bicycle requires separation of the first and second portions of the housing, and separation of the first and second portions of the housing causes the RFID device to stop functioning.

15. The RFID tag as in claim 14 , wherein the RFID tag is securable to the bicycle without tools.

16. The RFID tag as in claim 14 , wherein the RFID tag is securable to the bicycle using adhesives.

17. The RFID tag as in claim 14 , wherein the housing is configured to encompass the portion of the bicycle in the channel of the housing.

18. The RFID tag as in claim 14 , wherein the portion of the bicycle is a spoke of a bicycle wheel.
