Its short range, and any govement agent close enough to scan you convertly is also close enough to take a photo.

No, the dangers lie in the cloning and in individual abuse of the technology. This is useless for Big Brother tracking, this is more "stupid brother making data accessible to any sod nearby".
Theres many sensible well thought out objections to this technology use without going anywhere near the big-brother style irrational cliche. Its those reasons why people want wallets to keep their data safe.

So at this point, I would think to myself "Ok, researches found flaws in RFID then passports and credit cards have been cloned due to RFID. So what have I learned here.... hmm... Let's put it in our licenses!

Being in NY though, would maybe be worth it if you visit Canada or plan to and don't have a passport (I don't).]]>Sep 17th 2008 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/ny-state-inserts-rfids-into-licenses-citizens-next/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/ny-state-inserts-rfids-into-licenses-citizens-next/
I'm by NYC so it doesn't really matter for me personally, but if you live in Buffalo or Rochester area where Canada is so close.. this has got to be amazing... I wonder if its possible to live in the US and work in Canada?]]>Sep 17th 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/ny-state-inserts-rfids-into-licenses-citizens-next/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/ny-state-inserts-rfids-into-licenses-citizens-next/Sep 17th 2008 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/ny-state-inserts-rfids-into-licenses-citizens-next/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/ny-state-inserts-rfids-into-licenses-citizens-next/It most certainly is possible to live across the border from your work -- I knew several people who worked in Plattsburgh, NY with homes just across the border in Canada, most of them nurses at the town's major hospital (but also college professors and even some retail workers).

Your way, though (live in US, work in Canada), is somewhat less common, since it ends up kind of being the worst of both worlds -- you pay hefty Canadian taxes on your wages without getting the "free" healthcare you should get with them, forcing you to pay for coverage on your own stateside. Canadian healthcare is a benefit of residency, not citizenship or employment.

Obviously, while this driver's license facilitates the border-crossing bit, you still need the necessary right-to-work papers to pull this off (visa, permit or citizenship)]]>Sep 17th 2008 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/ny-state-inserts-rfids-into-licenses-citizens-next/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/ny-state-inserts-rfids-into-licenses-citizens-next/IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
