RFID’s might not be what they are cracked up to be…

There was a link to a UK paper which showed how it took only 12 minutes using off the shelf equipment to completely alter the UK’s new national ID card. Since US passports now have these, it is cause for thought. See:

Scanaroo!

I love this concept and I really, really, really hope this will work with our MCLS library cards. Can someone out there who has an iPhone test this for me?
