Another thing I noticed in the UK whilst out and about was more people using this "hold your phone up " to pay your bill at the checkout.
In keeping with that was a concern by some of phones being "read"
This apparently is overcome by products like "Scannerguard" and little aluminum wallets etc.
I have various cards now that have a RFID "chip" in them and of course both my UK and Oz passports apparently have this technology in.
So
Is this just a beat up or is it something we should be concerned about?
