RE: Mobile industry calls for RFID payment push

Not a good idea at all. There was an expose' on one of the news channels about how easy it is to steal someone's account number from RFID credit cards. They had a hacker show them how it was done with a PDA and a RFID receiver under their jacket. All they had to do was walk within 1 foot of the victim and the receiver pulled the info from the card. Now they want to do the same with cellphones, talk about a completely unsecure device. People's bluetooth connections have been hacked and their entire phone's contents have been looked at. If these chips are installed, we as consumers should demand the option to be able to disable the RFID chip. I will not be forced into this nonsense.
