So... About That RFID...

I got my enhanced driver's license, which has an RFID chip inside to facilitate travel across the borders in North America. Nifty! When I went to the DOL, they gave me a little pocket to put the card in once I got it that would prevent it from "broadcasting"* when I didn't want it to. But they sent it to me in an unprotected envelope through the US Mail. Hmmmm...

*RFID tags are passive, so someone would have to aim a reader at it to trigger it.

I'm thinking of getting one, because I'm going to Ontario in 2011.
