Rein rechtlich lassen sich Bierdeckel nicht nur hervorragend zur subversiven Verbreitung von Text und Bild ohne Impressumpflicht benutzen (Kneipen sind nicht oeffentlich), sondern auch zur Herstellung von Chipkartenschreibern. Dazu werden zwei Bierdeckel (kein Dual-Use, sondern mind. Triple-Use) mit einem Buerohefter so zusammengeheftet, dass eine Chipkarte hinreichend passgenau dazwischengeschoben werden kann. Die Kontaktierung erfolgt mit Telefondraht (keine Litze), der passend durchgefaedelt wird. Und dann ran an die parallele Schnittstelle...
