Wired - Passport Chip Criticism Grows
Wired News reports, "More critics speak out against a government plan to put remotely readable chips in U.S. passports. Opponents of the plan include business travel groups, security experts and privacy advocates." I wonder why the government can't work with these groups to perfect the technology before putting it in our passports and ID cards?

RFID Cards Get Spin Treatment
According to this Wired News report, the government is playing Orwellian word games to avoid public concern over privacy and identity theft. So, just to be clear, new biometric identification plans (including passports) may use radio signals to send data, but they are not RFID. Really. Nothing to see here, move along.
