New York offers RFID-embedded driver's licenses

From Crave -

New York has started offering enhanced driver's licenses (EDLs) embedded with RFID. New York is also the second state to offer IDs that can be shown at the border in lieu of a U.S. passport. The RF identification chip in the EDL will be able to be scanned by authorities to identify citizens entering the state from Canada, Mexico, or the Caribbean. Intercontinental travelers will still need to produce a passport to enter the country. The new EDLs will be available at a $30 premium over the standard $50 licensing fee.
