So everyone is going to have this RFID embedded ticket with name,

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. ;-)
