Depends on what level sufficiently expensive is, if it's 100's of millions for the chip design, then possible, but you'll need access to the proper fabs and where are you going to get the chip designers, most I know don't want any part of counterfeiting, but again could be "brought". Just reverse engineering the chip will prove extremely difficult, then you must duplicate the RFID tag, which will be very involved and very difficult to reverse engineer and crack the encryption codes.

So the likelihood of some anti-US or terrorist group being successful is nil, and even the likelihood of an adversarial (edit spelling) country being successful is not much better. They will need to employ "other" means like infiltration, blackmail, hostages and so on, breaking the technology will prove much too difficult and expensive IMO.

BTW to the best of knowledge no one, group or country has been successful at reverse engineering any of the encryption chips I'm aware of, and I'm sure many have tried and are still trying.

Best,
