World Cup tickets with RFID chips

To ensure maximum safety, the German government has introduced tickets with RFID chips, a panel to keep a bird's eye-view of WC security situations as well as finger printing devices for "fast identification."

According to PCWorld, "more than 3.5 million tickets for the 64 matches will be sold with an embedded RFID chip containing identification information that will be checked against a database as fans pass through entrance gates at all 12 stadiums".
