To facilitate the frequent travel of U.S. citizens living in border communities and to meet DHS’s operational needs at land borders, the passport card contains a vicinity-read radio frequency identification (RFID) chip. This chip points to a stored record in secure government databases. There is no personal information written to the RFID chip itself.

Screw that! The RFID is going to be the next major compelled item to force citizenship under the Corp U.S. jurisdiction. Will continue to be passed of as an identity theft deterrent but is the next greatest thing for government to track and control lives. The RFID is just an ID like your SSN that scanners obtain the number and hit a database, in this instance the Federal Governments to find all sorts of things about you. Scanners could be utilized at traffic signals, government buildings, public areas etc and could virtually relay numbers back to the database and catalog your movements. and it gets worse from there.
Anyways, sorry to get off topic, was just following the link above..
