Excellent podcast on privacy risks of RFIDs.

From boingboing and Surveillance Nation. I love the image of “every dude walking around with a thirty foot cloud of data emanating from his pants is so tantalizing that it invites sinister conspiracies.” If you haven’t read about RFID tags, you might want to. Got a passport? Got a driver’s license? You probably have a couple of those data clouds emanating from your self, then too.
