for far too many these days, to be a jew, particularly in the US, is to be moved by the holocaust..this leads to people acting like nazis to prevent Nazism.dangerous and ludicrous. Hitler used the media to brainwash everyone, as soon as everyone accepts that the media is better than anyone else's view, or more revealing than any other source, then that will only lead to tyranny.AND HAS

I have made a FRID scanner in line with a panel antenna. Rang i have gotten mine working is 6 feet. I have yet to see a anyone use, secure FRID. When I do Pen Testing on networking for any company a simple drive by any of the employees out "smoking or eating" can pick up the FRID tag, when you have access to the building.

yo stop arguing about terrorists. ur all losers. fact is that rfid is easy to hack, nd it should b advanced further by the current largest producer of rfid tech, nd dats NXP.

using a broadcasting radio frequency doesn't exactly seem secure.

@MaleAdaptor RFID might be a security concern, but its no different in that regard than most other information technology advances. When the information is both sensitive and mishandled. Both the telegraph and the internet required a learning curve in terms of security. The fact that so many people are concerned while the technology is still in its infancy tells me we will learn what info is too sensitive and how it best should be handled before major mistakes are made.

You're an idiot. Security is the fault of everyone. If people called for better security, developers would be required to increase their security measures. Random insults about the US government only show blind ignorance on your part. You want a security threat? How about pervasive surveillance cameras in the UK that capture one crime for every 1000 cameras? Talk about piss-poor security...

[MaleAdaptor]

The biggest security threat in the world is the US government.

rfid is just bizarre ... all you need is a cheap $50 rfid reader/writer and a blank programmable rfid chip and getting your hands on the original rfid chip for a few seconds and you can do this...

and if there is an encryption, its still a piece of cake for experienced ppl....

[Sycorexxx]

Im not scary, im just telling the opportunities it creates for terrorist... And you CAN READ NATIONALITY without authentication of e-passport... If you know the birthdate, docnmr and expr date you can read the full e-passport incl jpg-2000 img... The key is written PLAINTEXT on the passport itself. Tell me what a Faraday Cage is Mr. Expert...

[Smaxxx666]

First of all, could you plaese explain HOW is it possible to READ Obamas passaport ??? Do you know what FARADAY CAGE's means in electronics ?? If you dont know, please shut up.. little girl...
