Added som stuff to the passport section about the US issuing passports with RFID tags from October 2006 and about the Norwegian Passport authority.
 
== changes to types of RFID tags ==
 
I removed the sentence ''Analysts from independent research companies Gartner and Forrester Research agreed that a price less than $0.10 (production volume of one billion units) is achievable in 6–8 years, thus limiting near-term prospects for widespread adoption of passive RFID; however, the high demand for the tags from Wal-Mart, DoD, METRO, etc., has created a market gradient to support these prices.'' because it made no sense in conjunction with ''Today, as universal RFID tagging of individual products become commercially viable at very large volumes, the lowest cost tags available on the market are as low as 7.2 cents eachin volumes of 10 million units or more.''. Maybe the Gartner sentence should have the cost as one cent instead of ten? I couldn't find the source for the Gartner claim so I removed it for now.
