RFID Cards & Security Poll Results

The last Web Poll on the AIM Global and RFID.org websites asked visitors their views on potential privacy threats posed by RFID-enabled ID cards. The response was overwhelmingly negative -- only 31% felt they posed little risk -- but the comments are more telling than the results.

How much of a security/privacy threat is posed by the use of RFID technology in state - or federally - issued ID Cards?

Unacceptably high: 40.85%
Quite a lot: 16.20%
Somewhat: 10.56%
Not Much: 14.79%
Virtually none: 16.20%
