I'd imagine it'd be pretty hard to spoof. Passports have RFID chips as well, and I'd be more worried about someone scanning my passport wirelessly.

Personally I like the idea, but I'm sure you can just pass on it if you don't want to enable it on your device. Its just one of those things where you trade convenience for risk.
