"only a pointer"??
My credit card number is "only a database field" too. I'd be stupid to broadcast that everywhere.

"But because the unique ID tends to be a random number that is only a pointer to a field in a database, other panelists said they weren't worried."

Using cheap RFIDs for any serious security or personal identification mechanism is utterly ridiculous.

Hear ye, hear ye, read all about it:
