Mythbusters Bullied Into Not Airing RFID Tag Episode (Video)

[DrewWilson]

There was a short round of RFID tags on Mythbusters, but apparently, they were planning on a full-blown episode in the works surrounding the technology. Adam Savage discussed what happened in the Hackercon apparently which can be found here:

It's very interesting stuff (this is discussed only in the first two minutes of the video though.

RFID is a good technology for many many things, I do not like the idea of using it for bank and credit cards. I'm sure there are better solutions than RFID for those mediums, and if there is not, they should be investing in more secure mediums.
