@RFIDProtect How is it secure?

You drop your card, anyone can use it to buy small stuff without your PIN or signature.

whats the sodding difference in time between putting in your pin and holding the card next to the reader?!

[RFIDProtect]

Thanks for showing us how it works, and for putting our minds at ease that this technology is quick, easy and 100% secure. Good luck with the campaign from all of us at: rfidprotect.co.uk

"Can't be made...without your knowledge"

Absolute bollocks (wait and see)

A whole new method of "steaming" on the tube and in crowds. All it will take is the right acquisition software and wireless-connected rfID portable reader stuffed inside a thief's coat

When will these clowns wake up to the fact that throwing technology at a problem does not equal higher security. Of course, this isn't what the issue is really about.

I didn't ask to opt-in. Where do I opt out?

This RFID technology is not secure at all, there is the very real possibility for people to take your card and use it themselves. Plus it is a stepping stone towards RFID implants into humans, which governments will track your movements and everything you do. A massive blow to your human rights.

What if your card gets stolen? with no pin the can just swipe and buy on your account...
