"In regulations published Tuesday, the State Department claims it has addressed privacy concerns. The chipped passports "will not permit 'tracking' of individuals," the department said. "It will only permit governmental authorities to know that an individual has arrived at a port of entry--which governmental authorities already know from presentation of non-electronic passports--with greater assurance that the person who presents the passport is the legitimate holder of the passport." Right because determined people couldn't possible create their own rfid tag with the information required. I give hackers a week before whatever method of storing this data has been cracked and replicated. -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
