You gotta worry about this crap.

You wake up one morning with a small unexplained wound and a strange desire not to miss the property boat.

so there you have it.

RFID is not foolproof.

they would be far better looking at optical encryption.....using this type of card would not feel any different to using a standard debit card,but it is immeasurably more secure.

instead of the card reader reading a magnetic strip.or series of digital pulses from a chip,the reader would analyse a frequency spectrum generated by a combination of crystals with an electric charge applied...it's own DNA code.

If the sources of the crystals is secure,then the card itself can be activated only at despatch from the provider.

..totally secure in transit.

..and coupled with standard pin will be pretty much impenetrable.

..unless your forgers have access to all the types of crystals with identical frequency responses(which would ultimately depend on the chemical composition).......cooked up in lab will be very,very difficult to duplicate.
