Anyone with more knowledge than my ability to find my keys every day care to comment on this? It doesn't mention GM or SAAB but interesting nonetheless...

"The safety of the RFID tags embedded in car keys has been called into question by a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University."
"Matthew Green is part of a team that has announced that it has cracked the security behind the “immobilizer” systems used in many modern vehicles, and created by Texas Instruments. The immobilization systems reduce car theft by only starting a vehicle when it recognizes a tiny chip in the car key. They are in use by Ford, Toyota and Nissan. "
