NEW POLL OVERVIEW:<br />
----------------------------<br />
Department of Homeland Security has a new policy that will require some Michigan to implant radio frequency identification (RFID) chips into the states' driver&rsquo;s licenses. The chips allow Customs and Border Protection officers to scan an entire vehicle from up to 30 feet away in order to identify the vehicle's occupants.<br />
<br />
These chips will give public and private entities an unprecedented ability to track Americans. RFIDs can be read using widely available technology, including technology contained in mobile phones, which increases the risk of identity theft. <br />
<br />
Michigan is one of several states subject to the DHS mandate. <br />
