    So, why does it matter, your passport already has your information on it.

    In addition, I saw a radio engineer student copy an RFID frequency to some hardware device he made for less than $100 then unlock some corporate security doors that used that pass...

    all it is is a unique radio frequency ID.

    Imagine the police can now scan a whole building and know who's inside once they impliment it in the drivers license.

    A good hacker with radio engineering skills can steal your identity on the subway by so much as walking by...

    this is the 12th hour ladies and gents =)
