Quite a scary story on how easy it is to snoop in on new Passports with RFID chips.
One should ask what were governments thinking in exposing their citizenry to identity theft in this fashion?
But the cat is out the door as Passport have a 5 or 10 year life and I can't imagine a recall once a more secure solution is developed.
Anyone with such a Passport, or driver's license or whatever, should consider a shielding envelope, as came with my US-Canada Nexus card.
