So news on the civil rights front...the US has decided to include RFID (radio frequency identification) tags in passports. I'm sure this is all for our 'protection' but somehow I feel like that must have gone over my head because all I can think about is how Big Brother this is. I'm scared, someone please console me. So I guess grab your new passport asap.
