Yeah... I'd also have to disagree with the poster on this one... RFID passports, unlike any other wireless technology, allow targeted attacks on specific people or people fitting specific demographics, which are the kinds of killing that are most common. The fact that no one has yet cracked any given code is irrelevant, as tech geeks of all people should know. Codes get cracked, that's what happens. All it takes is one smart guy who wants to make some cash by selling this technology to the wrong people. It may never happen, but it isn't all that unresonable, lets not pretend like it is.
