In theory it could, but RFID is far from perfect.  Mis-reads/no-reads are fairly common and given the speed at which accomplished dealers handle the cards I would expect lots of opportunities for misdeals and delays while they fix stuff.  Not to mention the inefficiency of basically having a dealer sit at an empty card table with enough space to deal 9 or 10 hands of RFID cards to exact points without interfering with each others' read zones... in other words, pretty close to a full-size poker table.  x1000 or however many tables this presumed online site is going to operate.  Plus the technological investment to reap what would be a questionable reward when online poker as it currently operates can handle far more volume and generate far more revenue.

While it may sound like an interesting concept, to me it's blatantly unfeasible, not to mention wholly unnecessary and making no business sense.  To me it's like someone swimming across the Atlantic because they don't trust planes or ships.  The rational response to such a mistrust is not to travel from the US to Europe, much as the rational response from someone who can't trust an online poker deal is to simply not play online poker.
