RFID tags in US Passports

Wired News: American Passports to Get Chipped

This is such government BULLSHIT. There’s absolutely NO reason to implant an RFID chip in your passport – the claims of “oh it helps security, we can tell it was issued by the government” isn’t even on thin ice, it’s just plain crap. Imbed a chip, okay – but don’t make it readable by an antenna from a distance!!

The ideal solution here is to NOT use RFID tags, and insdead require that the passport be “swiped” in the same way credit/debit cards are. That way, at least, you know when someone has just read all of your PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION – INCLUDING YOUR HOME ADDRESS.

Crap crap crap.

  1. Do you conceive that 75% of the people know nothing about the RFID movement. To have the RFID dropped on their laps in the last house will be to late for that number of people to change the system because the gears will be so far in motion that the machine will be on auto pilot. SO now we must inform as many people around us of this upcoming change. There is news out lets on the web that have information but soom you must think are run by RFID makers to keep the wool over. The RFID chip is called a ZombieChip because it may never really die. How ever if you search for an answer to counter the chip the find what is called tagzapper. I read this in the ZombieWire.com So people stand for you rights before it is to late to stand with out be known for getting up. KILL THE RFID CHIP NOW
