But, for those who do travel where Americans are targeted (which has, sadly, become just about everywhere, i.e. northern & central EU where the border relaxation and liberal asylum has led to large populations from the middle east most of whom are fine people but amongst whom there is a small element bent on this), this can be of interest. Some countries are having a close look at this: i.e. Belgium.

With all the _real_ stuff we have to worry about on a daily basis, WTF should I care if some yahoo drives around and picks up my passport RFID? Really, on a 10-scale, with 10 being a great real-world danger such as driving to work in traffic, and 5 being household accidents, I'd have to place RFID passports down around a 1 or less. If you travel a lot in countries where Americans may be targeted, then perhaps the scale would change. But I'm no fool - I simply avoid going to places like that!
