New York Driver Licenses Go RFID

ny rfid driver license New York Driver Licenses Go RFID

RFID still isn’t a sound technology, at least from security standpoint, so I’m surprised to see New York state adopting the technology.  Fortunately, the NY RFID licenses only contain an encrypted identification number, or so they say, that is apparently intended to expedite border crossing to Canada.  The RFID licences cost an extra $30, bringing the total price to $80.

Forget it, I’d rather spend my green backs on strippers and Molson XXX.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."
