I do understand your argument. It's when people start extending RFID tags beyond their capabilities that I shake my head. Claiming that the government can track your RFID tagged documents every move via satellite for example.
If you are so inclined, RFID tags are very easily disabled. Wrap it in foil, (Hat jokes anyone?

) or simply smack it with a hammer.
Presto! No more RFID tag.
Just be prepared for extra scrutiny as the whole point of RFID tags, in passports for example, is to help weed out forgeries and speed the customs & immigration process. Anyone who has stood in line at ATL, JFK or LAX as I have would welcome a "fast (RFID) line".
