Your ad hominem attack left your post completely worthless. Also, you should learn what windows services are before you assume the only thing running on your PC are the applications you started.
The design would be fine as long as each card reading device could sign the contents of the card and only work if the signature is verified. Atleast then hackers would have to steal a device and retrieve the key to be able to create valid cards.

I did it last month. I lost my ID and went to the airport and told them just that. They stamped my ticket with 'SSS' and the screeners took me aside, patted me down, and let me on my way. I never showed ANYTHING that had my name on it.
It's not as cut and dried as that unfortunately. Sometimes certain rights - like the right to liberty - need to be denied suspects until their innocence is proven, due to the risk of their committing further offences, or of fleeing justice. Never. This is completely unacceptable. If you have no evidence of wrong doing, no rights shall be suspended.

Everyone else here seems to be missing the point. "Oh noes some environmentalists are protesting stuff. Idiots." When there very well could be a danger here. Molecule sized chemicals attached to my clothes could very well pose a health risk. Nobody knows because they haven't done substantial testing! I think thats what these protesters want more than anything. Proof that it is NOT dangerous.
