FROM Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFID

In 2006, RFID tags were included in new US passports. The US produced 10 million passports in 2005, and it has been estimated that 13 million will be produced in 2006. The chips will store the same information that is printed within the passport and will also include a digital picture of the owner. The US State Department initially stated the chips could only be read from a distance of 10 cm (4 in), but after widespread criticism and a clear demonstration that special equipment can read the test passports from 10 meters (33 ft) away, the passports were designed to incorporate a thin metal lining to make it more difficult for unauthorized readers to "skim" information when the passport is closed. (My comments: Except government "authorized" scanners.)

Thirty-three (33) feet is just about the distance from the center line of a roadway to the curb. I would suppose that means with slight modifications, these new RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tags could be scanned from any vehicle parked or moving or a stationary "receiver" at the side of any roadway and with a bit of tweaking from the side of any HIGHWAY. That way, the movement of anyone carrying a driver's license could be REMOTELY tracked.
