The Department of Homeland Security's Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee published a draft report that poured cold water on RFID

The 'skin' of the Zune was a 'rubberized' material that had a smooth seductive feel to it.
Yeah, I remember reading somewhere that Microsoft contracted out to the RealDoll company for that part.
it doesn't sit well that the *AA's would be able to create a new merit badge and start indoctrinating them.
