I'd rather have an RFID in my bicep than give blood, fingerprints, voice or have my retina scanned. Of course, the thieves/hackers could always cut off my arm and use the bloody stump to gain access... but that requires some "dedication".
In the end, this is another way to ensure security in an insecure world. All security measures can be defeated. Unknown quote: "I've never met a lock I couldn't pick."
How true!

Wrong thread, I think. But since I don't think MT lets you easily move comments: actually, if you read the article you'll see that the RFIDs can be skimmed remotely. So this actually isn't very secure. A physical token that can be read wirelessly without alerting the owner is dumb dumb dumb. I'm sure they still use a two-factor scheme, but this is pointless. They would have been better off with a one of those rotating crypto keychain dongles. At least you could tell when that got stolen.

feel free to delete, i made the comment elsewhere... this one too
