Well, why is something you're carrying with you broadcasting
your info without your permission? Seems like operator error..
either in giving your real info in the first place (for
grocery-store loyalty cards) or in configuring your card
promisciously (giving your name to anyone who calls and asks,
"who's this?" on the phone..).
You teach *little kids* not to give out personal info to cold
calls over the phone. You can teach overgizmo'd proles too.
