From the article:
  "an embedded RFID chip containing identification information
   that will be checked against a database"

To me that doesn't imply that the chip will contain the items in your 
list.  It could be a checksum of the data in the DB, and security 
officials just validate, against the DB, the full name on a physical 
passport and the checksum on the RFID.
Now, the security of the DB could be a whole other thread of discussion. ;-)
