So ‘hackers’ read and clone a passport’s RFID tag… fine. The part that bugs me more is that the so-called “security measure” of a wire mesh in the passport cover doesn’t work if the passport opens half an inch. And this is with today’s technology – tomorrow, the readers will be more advanced and it’s going to require a 3/4″ of solid steel to mess up the read.
Passports should be readable with contact only! If I can’t touch the pages, I shouldn’t know what is on them.
