US RFID Passport hacking

A follow-up to a story released in the past few months:

A German security researcher who demonstrated last year that he could clone the computer chip in an electronic passport has revealed additional vulnerabilities in the design of the new documents and the inspection systems used to read them.

Perhaps it will give the EU and others pause to contemplate fingerprint scanning and the dissemination of private information of their citizens. As for us, it appears we're doomed.
