Passport Security

I was just checking my passport and I need to renew for next year, but I have concerns about the RFID (radio frequency identification) tags embedded in the new passports. I understand that with the right equipment all of your biometric information can be compromised. Doing physical damage to the tag will hold you up at the various ports of entry, like hammering the tag, microwaving it (fire), a pinhole or cutting the antenna (leaves tampering evidence). I did a little search and found this RFID blocking passport billfold which I will order. just being cautious. I don't foresee myself traveling internationally soon, except for the odd trip to Baja.

I was thinking,(that could be dangerous)back to when I used to patronize Barnes & Noble. After reading into the book half way or more, I would find an RFID chip. I guess they wanted to know where the book was living after it sold. Curious.

Where have I been? Nowhere.

I've been so busy just living recently and I've neglected this silly blog. At this moment I am looking at a stack of books half of them I haven't even cracked open for the first time. I must catch up. I don't know why I am stressing about it, so tomorrow I will begin putting time aside for reading only. Nonetheless I do like being surrounded by books and that paper smell, especially from well worn pages.
