So, how does this supposed keyed encryption mesh with the story coming out of San Francisco this week? Here's a full story from The Register in the UK.

A guy with off-the-shelf parts cloned two passports that he never had physical contact with.

Tell me again how I have nothing to fear???

I'm guessing that the answer is that the data that is being broadcast at that point has no personally identifying information in it so I shouldn't worry. I'm not buying.
