Sorry to be so paranoid, but--
Doesn't the presence of a passport RFID show that you are a U.S. citizen
to anybody who has the right equipment and who is looking for U.S.
citizens with purposes in mind that don't bode well for said citizens?
I would imagine that equipment to detect the passport

Yes, it does. In many hostage situations the first thing terrorists do
is collect passports. Up to now we've been protected against blind
terrorists, but with RFID even visually impaired terrorists can tell
we're from the US!

Thomas,
Did you get my little gift and do they look good on you? :)
Not to treat your concerns lightly, but if your average
kidnapper/terrorist in a third world country can't spot an American
tourist 100 yards away, he must be pretty pretty blind. I am willing to
bet money that the average 10 year old urchin in
Khartoum/Baghdad/Bogotá/Tehran/etc. could tell
Wow--this is turning into a thriller plot. (I was more interested in the
technical questions.) The usual way to get by if someone fingers you in
unfriendly territory as a North American tourist is to say, We're Canadian,
with or without Maple Leaf t-shirts and references to the Calgary

Worse yet you might be invited to go bird hunting with him!

RFID chips in passports are there to make them less easily faked. I
would assume any passport that should have one but doesn't would come
under extra scrutiny- so busting it with a hammer is probably a good
way to spend extra hours in airport security.
Go for the wallet.

Speculation had MS rushing this to market to prevent people from
claiming that MS stole the idea from Apple.

I don't really see how anyone could have done that, since the project has been
known about
for quite a while. For example, see this, dated March, 2005:
I've already got funny sun glasses. Can I get funny Groucho glasses with
