There is not a piece of technology out there that cant be cracked or duplicated given enough computer time. This is why a scheme for a national ID card is a folly, and reliance on that in the name of security will lead to catastrophe.

And note that the Big Auto execs are denying that RFID is a problem. Technology including guns are mere tools used by people for good or evil. Sometimes the good create tools and systems the evil hijack.....

SCENARIO: keep in mind the book of Revelation, then think of "1984" and then the '70s movie "A Thief In The Night" (or the current "Left Behind" blockbusters)....then consider our satellite network, the capabilities of ecommerce, cell phones, children animals and felons already injected with satellite trackable capsules...now RFID taking hold in a big way--and vulnerable to hacking.....

(truly end-times apocalyptic shudder) God save us from ourselves!

Not if it is a DNA fingerprint. That can't (to my knowledge) be duplicated. I am very much in favor of a national ID card.
