Lawmaker Rips RFID Passport Plans
Cool -- this fits in with my whole "RFID Kills!" motif for the day.
Kim Zetter writes in Wired News that:
A key U.S. congressman who led post-Sept. 11 passport reforms told European diplomats last week that there was no need for European countries to put RFID chips in their passports and that Congress never required them to do so.
Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisconsin), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, expressed dismay that EU countries were planning to employ a technology that was still unproven for use in travel documents that would add costs and delays to rolling out new, more secure passports.
