The US Passports are going to come inside of a special case which has a special copper mesh that will block any signals from getting in or out, but once you open your case your ID could be compromised. The reason I like it is because I like the idea of a keyless entry my home but until they figure out the problems with the buffer overrun it can never be good. There have been store which are implementing RFID's for simple and fast checkout, walk through a small area during checkout and it will know exactly what you have and debit your credit card. Hackers have been able to rewrite the RFID and walk out with a shopping cart full of groceries for the price of a pack of gum.
