Finally the Feds are pulling their heads out of their asses and rethinking the notion of using RFID passports. Back in October the State Department thought it would be a good idea to store each persons Name, Address, Phone, SS#, etc. on an RFID tag stored in that persons passport. This information would not be encrypted and would be able to be read from anyone with an RFID reader within 30 feet of a passport. Bad idea. Now, thankfully, they are rethinking the entire idea.
