RFID chips in driver’s licenses. What could go wrong?
Found on Ars Technica on Thursday, 01 October 2015
The states of Washington, New York, Michigan, and Vermont already have adopted the spy-friendly, voluntary program that links your license with the Department of Homeland Security. For the moment, the cards are designed to be used instead of passports at US land borders in a bid to speed up the entrance lines from Mexico and Canada.
The American Civil Liberties Union, for instance, is decrying the move to RFID chips in driver's licenses as a "civil liberties nightmare."
Everything can go wrong, and it will. Being lazy is nice and all, but you don't give up everything for that.
