^^ ROFL Ruan, so again, the aforementioned app is bollocks then? 
Ooooo.............thats 2 way unlike the RFID I was thinking of, but still, would they be used as a form of payment if it wan't secure? I think not, would it have been rolled out on a massive scale if you could take someone's card details that easily? I doubt it.
I don't understand why people even bother worrying about stuff like this TBH, it wouldn't be used if it wasn't safe as banks are still liable for any unauthorised transactions and I fail to see the problem with this when everyone will quite happily mash their card details into a random web site on the internet to buy something...........

However, I believe the contactless system does not transmit enough sensitive data for this to be a worry, it's more like the Pinsentry system where a random ID code is generated on each use..
