The Department of Homeland Security’s Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee will be considering a report on the use of RFID in identification documents at its meeting June 7th in San Francisco. A draft of the report has been posted with a request for comments.
The report has already generated a little attention. This Government Computer News story overstates the tone of the report, but it’s good.
