A document obtained by EPIC from the State Department reveals that 2004 government tests found passports with radio frequency identification (RFID) chips that are read 27% to 43% less successfully than the previous Machine Readable Zone technology (two lines of text printed at the bottom of the first page of a passport).
Naja, zumindest werden durch RFID eindeutig die Schlangen vor den Schaltern noch länger. Und diesmal liegt es dann nicht nur an bescheuerten Personen (vgl. Henry Rollins, 2CD "Think Tank", Track "Airport Hell").
