No RFID please!

Every country is doing RFID in passports. RFID passports

They'll have radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and are meant to cut down on human error of immigration officials, speed the processing of visitors and safeguard against counterfeit passports.

Today I'll by getting my new passport. I orded a new one now because I dont want to have a new passport with a RFID chip in it. No, I am not wearing a tinfoil hat, but I do think that carrying a digital identity along with me, "broadcasting" my whereabouts to every reader in the world is something I want.
