Umm, don't you think using any tech that can be sniffed as easily as RFID is a dangerous way to secure anything, espcially if it transmits at any distance as the article said the Virginia licenses would? I don't understand how the information on the card could be considered secure (for login or such) unless you had to somehow verify which makes make the whole process as secure as user pass anyway. Biometrics would change that, but if you are using Bio you probably don't need RFID.
