At any rate, just to up your paranoia level a wee bit, when Elizabeth 
and I were returning to the US last Friday night through the Peace Arch 
crossing, there were contractors installing 4 very interesting looking 
antennas at each lane going into US customs. Each one pointed at a 
different corner of the car. When I asked one of the contractors what 
they were for, he said it was to read the RFID chip that will be in all 
of our new passports and drivers licenses/national ID starting this fall.

Cheerios!
