RFID's in ... and out ?

Breaking news

Dutch RFID e-Passport cracked
That's what has been reported at Endgadget.
RFID is an interesting concept, and there's some amount of hype too, what with Wal-Mart implementing it and dragging all its vendors along too.
And now the news is that US is going to go ahead with the faulty technology. More fun and games for the terror mongers.

While on the topic of RFIDs, I had this harebrained idea for implementing RFID for our placements. That way you could track which student was where at what time. But as Pradeep pointed out, the RFID chip might be floating down a sewer line and we would be frantically tracking the student at the treatment plant.

But I'm not giving up.
