RFID Embedded in Tickets for 2006 World Cup

All Headline News' Shaveta Bansal reports that the German government has introduced tickets with RFID chips embedded in them for the upcoming World Cup, along with other security measures.


"More than 3.5 million tickets with RFID tags will be checked against a database as fans pass through entrance gates at all 12 stadiums," Bansal writes.


"A panel of 120 people will keep a close monitoring on security situations through a center equipped with a arsenal of computers and screens that will show video feeds from surveillance cameras set up to monitor crowds in and around the stadiums as well as in selected public areas."


PC World's John Blau goes into more detail on the RFID tickets: "Organizers have asked everyone requesting tickets to provide a wealth of personal data, including name, address, date of birth, nationality, and number of ID card or passport," he writes. "Never before have fans attending an event organized by FIFA, the world's soccer body, been required to provide so much information about themselves that can be accessed so quickly."
