Industry reply on e-passport cloning.

Some choice comments:
"However, Grunwald merely cloned the data on the IC inside his passport. 
He did not counterfeit the passport, nor did he manipulate the data."

"Cloning a passport's inlay, according to the Smart Card Alliance, would 
be no different than stealing someone else's passport and trying to 
present that as your own at a border entry point."

"What this person has done is neither unexpected nor really all that 
remarkable,"
