I am in the process of renewing my Passport. Was notified that my renewed passport would contain an RFID chip to 'prevent alteration of my identity data.'
There has been some press about this. That it could be 'scanned' some distance away. They say that the cover will contain foil to cut down on 'unauthorized access'.
Somehow, the purported purpose and the required safeguards seem to be at odds.
