1. Comment - DHS proposes funky 'fix' for RFID security

   (Nov 18, 2008 - 2:44 PM)

   There's a slight error in this statement: "That number would actually be the second unique number in the chip, since all a passport's RFID chip stores is a unique number that is indexed in a database. (Currently the chips hold one unique number and one generic manufacturer code; that generic code is the one that would be replaced with a TID.)"
   
   The e-passport chip stores all of the data on the data page of your passport, including a jpg of your photo. In contrast, the PASS card stores a unique database pointer, which perhaps is what you meant to refer to here.
