So nothing "extra". The data concerned is required at check-in by
numerous foreign hotels, so is in effect public information.

I never said it was anything extra. But you don't normally leave your
passport open on the details page and let strangers photocopy it which
is the equivalent of what the RFID allows.

They tend to copy details down manually, but I think I've had somewhere
want to scan it. When in a hurry in Cyrillic-land I've sometimes
regretted having Жingstoи Upoи Hцљ written out in full as my place of
birth.

(if the police are reading this, I was fully registered en route to
Subotica, honest)
