Great, now I have to worry about my passport being hacked, and my personal information harvested for anything from terror investigations to credit reports. No thanks, I'll stick with my paper one.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/26/state-dept-oks-rfid-passports/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/26/state-dept-oks-rfid-passports/

With these big brother can watch you every time you get on a subway, go to the library, drive through a toll booth and anywhere else they decide to stick their RFID readers....

This is like fundamentalist groups that thought bar codes were somehow the mark of the beast and that some day during the Tribulation you'd have to have one stamped on your forehead. You're safe.

The government really isn't all that interested in (or capable of) following you around every day as you go to Wendy's for your frosty. Especially you, paranoid nerd.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/26/state-dept-oks-rfid-passports/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/26/state-dept-oks-rfid-passports/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AM
