At PC World, IDG's Jeremy Kirk reports that the U.K.'s new secure biometric passports aren't, well, secure.

Security export Adam Laurie says a simple RFID reader and customized code can be used to read data from an RFID chip in a sealed envelope -- without the victim ever knowing.

"That's the really scary thing," Laurie told the UK's Daily Mail newspaper. "There's no evidence of tampering. They're not going to report something has happened, because they don't know."
