What the respondees neglect to consider (or don't understand) is that the RFID chip for this application would also need to store data for at least one other ID verification method e.g. retina or fingerprint. (Ed note. biometric ID has not been suggested. It could just store boarding pass information; e.g. name and flight number. The individual will also be carrying a passport - in some cases a biometric passport for security.)

Individual approaching security control would then have his ID verified by comparing fingerprint/retina obtained with record stored on RFID chip --- optimum speed because the data is held locally rather than accessing a remote database
