Obscurity is not security.

True, but why make it easy?

I think, at this point, the cards do NOT contain RFID, but the people behind the idea would prefer it that way. But, since the people behind the RFID in the new passports have admitted that is perhaps not such a keen idea, perhaps the Real ID (which name makes me want to puke) people will similarly see the light.

I suppose above and beyond all that, I find the whole concept disgusting, because, while it's true you already have to show a state-issued ID for all manner of things for which it's ludicrous, now it's coming, blatantly, from the federal side. Maybe there's really no practical difference.
