If you care about security issues and/or your privacy at all, you should be concerned about the deployments (and pending deployments) of passports with passports with RFID chips embedded in them.

Bruce Schneier, CTO of BT Counterpane, author and world-renowned security expert & privacy advocate gave an interview regarding RFID passports. It is available as a podcast.

There isn’t any new information in there, at least, nothing that I haven’t talked about before. However, it is an excellent, easy to understand explanation of the key issues surrounding RFID chips being embedded in government issued IDs. It’s not very long, but is good information for everyone from the technically challenged to government officials and even security experts.
