Response to ABC's '20/20' Blind Spot on ID Theft via RFID

This link will take you to the entire statement by Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance who is taking exception to an ABC news report on '20/20' that, well, wasn't exactly done with perfect vision. Here, in part, is what he says:

I am responding to the June 16th 20/20 segment, "Got Tape? You Can Steal an Identity." After viewing the program and reading the transcript, I would like to point out that the section of the report that covers RFID technology is factually inaccurate and misleading... The report specifically states that using RF technology introduces risk to both credit cards and the new ePassport until they are made secure. This is not factually accurate...

He goes into some considerable detail to present a withering analysis of the factually inaccurate reporting. It's worth reading if you have time.
