An external security advisory committee reporting to the US Department
of Homeland Security has produced a highlight critical report (PDF)
<http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/privacy/privacy_advcom_rpt_rfid_draft.pdf>
 advising against the use of RFID technology in government documents.

But the scathing analysis remains stuck in limbo, as a draft report,
while the government pushes ahead with plans to include RFID tags in
everything from passport and diving licences to library cards.....
