in todays techdirt/wirelessweek they have an article on paypass
(www.paypass.com) - a payment system to now be offered nationally by MC
which uses RFID ... then I read the Wired article on security concerns ...

what i cant seem to get around is if its a wireless solution to payment what
happens when a card not involved with a payment happens to brush by or be in
proximity with a reader - do they also get charged without knowing?  has
anyone seen the technology first hand?
