In general, passive RFID is too easy to hack. Someone brushes up against you with a reader and they can copy your code. I'd rather not have something on me that told the world that I own an RFID key reader at home.

Active RFID powered by your bloodstream?... maybe!

Also, if you wanted to give your neighbors/family the keys to your house you'd have to inject them.

Lastly, they just generally aren't that available on the market. At least residentially.
