I hate RFID as much as any other privacy advocate, but having RFID on your drivers licenses won't mean they can track you 24/7.

RFID has a range of no more than 3 or 4 feet. It's not a "tracking mechanism" and anyone who tells you it is is a few bubbles off of plum.

Wouldn't it have been nice, however, if Mohammed Atta, with his 6 different legal drivers licenses, had been detected by an RFID scanner as he tried to board the airplane on 9/11?

"Excuse me sir, but why am I picking up 6 different identities and 6 different addresses when you walk past the scanner? And only one of them matches the name and address on your ticket. Hmmmmmmm?"
