Dave,

IP readers may be interested in comments we filed yesterday formally opposing the State Department's proposed rule 
creating RFID-laden "electronic passports."  
We discuss the various risks of these IDs, including eavesdropping, skimming, cloning, chip failure, etc. 

The comments are online at www.aclu.org/passports.

Best,

Jay
