RFID Security Issues A Feature Not A Flaw?
Spychips has an old Shockwave animated video demo of an RFID-enabled airport. [via Storefront Backtalk] (Note: use Internet Explorer; you made need a plug-in.)
What's interesting to note - besides some pretty stupid spelling errors - is that near the end of the video, a man is standing behind our hero with a flat panel device and checking his identity. So concerns about interception of data/ identity from smartcards or e-Passports may not be so far-fetched. In fact, this seems to be a design feature, not a flaw.
