I still haven't heard a compelling reason to use RFID for anything except inventory control. How is this better than a magnetic strip for credit card or drivers license/photo ID/passport? What is better than biometric security for access control, like the aforementioned implantees? If its high-security, a combination of cross-matched biometric features can be used. If a fingerprint doesn't match a retina scan, then you don't get access. It amazes me that these government securty agencies who want to use this aren't more critical.
Well, maybe I'm not so amazed. Richard Feynman described in a book of his how many of our nuclear secrets were kept locked in file cabinets that were trival to open, so I guess we haven't learned anything in 60 years
