Sweeping new State Department regulations issued on Tuesday say passports issued after that [October 2006] will have tiny RFID chips that can transmit personal information including the name, nationality, sex, date of birth, place of birth and digitised photograph of the passport holder. Eventually, the government contemplates adding additional digitised data such as “fingerprints or iris scans”.
Apparently it’s all the fault of the UK, as well…
