Nothing. The transport is only necessary to format the card. So nobody
can steal your card and use it for himself. I don't know of any other
use for it. The card can only be formatted once.

MuscleTool ist the tool for doing this.

You can always delete and install applets on a GlobalPlatform card, if
you have the GlobalPlatform keys, this has nothing to do with the
MuscleCard applet.
