RFID passports: a tragedy waiting to happen
It was interesting to read this article, as this is a critical issue with implication far beyond our worst expectations.
Can you figure this out: All over the world you may be followed and it´s not only the police that’s tracking you, everyone with the right hardware may do it?
So, from now on remember: you are no longer alone on the middle of the crowd.
I heard a big fuss about this theme on the discussions concerning the new foreign resident card in Japan and regarding the new RFID car plates in Portugal. It´s no more about the secrecy of data collect by the authorities, it is also about being randomly spied by anyone with the means for it
But not all skies are hazy; there are ways to find protection against this threat by using RFID blocking devices, already available in the market.
Still, the issue is on for cars and other vehicles is on. Possibly, one may consider it as another stimulus for public transportation.
