More credit cards are now being issued with what's called RFID technology. That stands for Radio Frequency Identification. Small radio chips in the cards contain your personal information making them easier to use.

I've seen several of these stories regarding electronic pickpocketing, and one thing I find curious is that it's almost always a female reporter covering the story, sometimes even demonstrating how easy this technology makes to steal personal info by using these scanners on unsuspecting people walking around. I wonder if news editors might think a male reporter really is a thief, and the people being "pickpocketed" might attack him? In any event, I'm glad to see coverage of this!
