Nonya,
Thanks for pointing out the drawbacks and risks of storing personal information in RFID tags. I should have included that in the article. Your warning applies also in general to any critical information that one may want to control access to.
RFID tags are better used in the context where other layers of security and access have been put in place (for example, encryption and/or physical security).
Thanks for commenting.
Anderson,
This is a very cool Raspberry Pi project.
Thanks a lot for sharing it, and for the very detailed instructions.
