Cloning passport card RFIDs in bulk for under $250

White/Grey-hat hacker Chris Paget demonstrates a $250 mobile device that can read and clone RFID tags embedded in United States passport cards and enhanced drivers' licenses.

A joke? No. Technology has advantages and disadvantages.

Don't know how to upload the video so I'll just post the link, if someone else could do it it would be appreciated.

No big surprise RFID or anything else that is wireless can never be secure you don't even have to copy any encryption just clone the signal.

Governments and Corporations seem to have a habit of forcing Ideas on us a child could recognize would never work it makes you wonder are they really so clueless I'm beginning to think they actually are sadly.

One could argue they are clueless but then a question comes into play, what happened to all that education they recieved? Are they all dumb retards who just have no idea, or is there a greater plan behind every stupidity. Bush attacks Iraq, was it a mistake? A mistake out of stupidity, or was it planned and executed accordingly for what ever purpose we don't know but can only refer to as conspiracy because it happened behind closed doors, that is what conspiracy means doesn't it?
