Swipeless RFID Credit Cards

Wired News reporter Kim Zetter appeared on NPR's Talk of the Nation yesterday to speak about the application of RFID in passports, swipeless credit cards, and Wal-Mart's inventory. Zetter believes that it will most likely be the responsibility of the credit card companies to purchase the readers for the merchants when the technology is first beginning to lift off. She also discusses privacy implications and other potential pitfalls of the technology for consumers. Listen to the audio of this interview: NPR: Credit Cards That Don't Swipe
