Hi,

The 2007 Nissan Altima now comes standard with a hands-free keyless ignition
and entry system.  The car can be started with a push of the button as long
as the driver has their RFID-equiped key fob in their pocket or purse.  The
car doors can also be unlocked with a push of a button on the door handles
if the key fob is close by.   

My prediction is that in 10 years almost cars will come with this same
hands-free feature.

My question:  Can a unique ID number be read on the sly from a Nissan key
fob by someone who has the right kind of reader unit?

Richard
