Not much that can be read from the cards anyway? A croock will need a lot more
information NOT on the card to be able to use it for anything BUT it's purpose.
The NFC cards used here for small amount payment, and on busses, airplaines and
trains can oin fact be read by a normal smartphone, or tablet. All of my Sony
tablets and my Xperia phone can read them, provided that you put it directly on
the back of the phone. Give it a 5mm clearence, and the card can not be read.
The data you get from them for payment is encrypted.

But may be the US cards are different? They may have backdoors built in for NSA
to access them the same way as they have for Juniper equipment?
