Get the aluminum foil ready
I’m so happy that I got my passport renewed earlier this year, and got a good old-fashioned one without RFID. But I’m not sure how I feel about the airport in the city I’m moving to being the first one to install the readers. This is not a security measure. This is an easy way to track your movement. Also an easy way for people to steal your information. While you’ll definitely notice someone reaching into your pocket for your passport, you may not notice the guy quietly sitting with his laptop in the terminal, downloading data from your RFID enabled passport.
