Subject: RFID Chips in Passports: Terrorist Beacons
Dave,
In a misguided attempt to make US passports more secure, the US Department
of State plans to put radio frequency identification (RFID) chips in all new
passports. This RFID chip will contain the same information currently on
our passports, including the passport holder's name, date and place of
birth, passport number and photograph.
From identity theft to identity death, an RFID-chipped US passport means
good news for the bad guys.
Take action now:

All the best,
Bill
