related to this.... they've already come up with a solution for the data security on 'smart' passports which still allows fast scanning of data at airports... I think it's something like the data stripe will only give out short-range wireless-data if a laser scanner thing is sending a request to the strip, with a changing encryption key, meaning the passport has to be open to recieve the beam with the encryption information (so theres no way to query the strip over wireless when the passport is closed), and anyone listening in on wireless wont be able to decrypt it.
