I think the response of the credit card companies says enough. Myth Confirmed.

No one stopped discovery from doing it, but you have to remember it's companies like the ones he mention and the companies that they own that pay for advertising. They could of said FU we'll find other advertisers, but they didn't, and that's how free markets work.

Seen any flying saucers recently?

How could these losers call themselves "Myth Busters" when their entire show is carefully controlled by mainstream corporate lawyers??? The biggest myth of all is that they would tell the truth about ANYTHING which would embarras ANY corporation or politician. The whole premise of the show is a big fat MYTH.

[MansEmpire]

And how many other reports have been deliberately squelched by Jewish lawyers? How much of your reality is prefabricated bullshit that the zionists who control TV have "allowed" you to see?

How could you possibly believe anything you see on TV after knowing that they will go to these lengths to censor a relatively minor issue on a show that hardly anyone watches?

Radio Frequency Identification Device. A very small device that credit card companies want on the back of their cards. They've also been experimenting on putting them in the arm/hand of people with all of their personal information. Your positioning would be tracked at all times, so you see where many of the conspiracies come from.

Now you see where the power truly lies.......

[MeleeTiger]

So, literally being told they aren't aloud to do a myth?...

Seems a little bullshit all things considered, I mean I can see WHY they would do that but still... FOR SCIENCE!

whats RFID

[MortenBoHansen]

yeah sure he could, but being such a negative person does not help anyone! He may be right, but the way he deliveres is certainly to be concidered one more time! I'm sick of asking questions in here to keep that socalled "online social life" when it all runs down to login on the next day, just to have some negative moron responding like this! What the fuck is up with those kind of scared human beings?

[Reosleoleo]

I mean even though he was speaking to you badly in a harsh way, he has a point.

[Waranoa]

Actually, no; since they were not intending to bust a particular myth, but air strategies on how you could hack such a thing yourself. Even if RFID works pretty ok, there will be ways to hack it, and if your company depends on RFID not being hacked, of course you are going to press with legal action; if not, you are not running your company properly.
