New RFID passports are coming

I passed through San Francisco's International airport last week and noticed that they are now testing passport controls for those with RFID's. There's been some concern in the press about these new passports. The RFID(radio frequency), which can be read without having to physically handle the passport(much like when someone walks out of a retail store with clothing that hasn't been demagnetized), but the jury is still out on the downside of having one of these. I'm personally a fan of getting my passport stamped, but I'm still tempted to see what the new technology is like.
