Having learned a lot over the course of the last two or three weeks about "WarDriving" (and warcarting) it occurred to me that if it's that easy to access wireless networks, then why the heck would Visa and Mastercard come out with a Radio Frequency ID (RFID) card.  Even with my newly ascertained, albeit, limited knowledge on the subject, I thought:  "certainly they would be easier to breach than plain old magnetic stripe cards right"? 

Right...but what surprised me is that it can be done for only $8, which is less than the cost of a movie ticket.  Speaking of movies...here's one on how to do it.
