I work with RF software and you could not give me a credit card that didn't need to be swiped.

A few weeks ago one of the hardware guys was trying to reprogram an RF card for testing and the equipment kept reading two cards. We looked around the lab and didn't see another card. It turned out it was reading another guy's credit card in his pocket. If we had not caught that we would have reprogramed his card. My point being that with the RF tech someone can read your card from across a room in your pocket...no thank you.
