The security risks of RFID use have been visited on the very federal agent proponents of such devices. Fortunately for the feds, this surprise took place in the somewhat safer environment of the DefCon hacker convention in Las Vegas.

The amiable individuals who scanned the feds were nice enough to destroy the data in front of the feds, causing heartbeats to resume their regular rythm.
