Zipping past Fisherman's Wharf, his scanner detected, then downloaded to his laptop, the unique serial numbers of two pedestrians' electronic U.S. passport cards embedded with radio frequency identification, or RFID, tags. Within an hour, he'd "skimmed" the identifiers of four more of the new, microchipped PASS cards from a distance of 20 feet.

Keep the real one in a shielded sleeve and keep a dummy one (or two!) out for the scanners to pick up. Sounds like fun.

Sure, until the police find the fake ID on you and charge you with a crime.

Surely someone with knowledge of RFID can sidestep the police.

Would an aluminum foil wrapping do the trick?

Why would you need a complete fake ID for the scanners to pick up? All you need is the tag or transponder which could be disguised as anything.

If you don't want to be scanned couldn't you just smash the passport/ID at the RFID location? Security would be forced to enter in the data manually.

And this is one of the many reasons I would never live in the US. The government is out to get everyone. Everybody is a criminal and terrorist until proven otherwise.

May as well just call these ID things the mark of the beast and be over with.

This is why the keyless entry/drive in cars today suck. RFIDs are easy to reproduce.

While I know they are easy to reproduce (I've worked with them before), I have not looked at how the ones for cars work. I've not seen anything about the security (or lack thereof) of them, so are they really easy to copy, essentially making the car easy to steal?

That video had a car that requires a key and rfid to start. Some cars only use rfid....

Seems like it.

I don't like anything involving the government getting more ID'ing of us.

I concur.

 

[Pollock]

Wow, wasn't aware of this. Kind of scary stuff.

I just keep my RFID in my tinfoil hat.

I like to pay back those people using RFID scanners. You can buy RFID chips then using exploits in the scanning software , set the data to send data to the scanners that causes the software to hang.

And they can "fight back" by ignoring flooding as well. This is no different than security software vs. malware. It's a constant volley that never stops.

Speaking of tinfoil hats...

And then you can use an RFID radio locator to try and locate the person and go over and punch them in the face.

Why not just use the remote airbag deployment system and give them a punch of the lifetime? :evil:
