I missed that. It may confuse the device as it is getting multiple signals
would be my best guess. I have been avoiding the RFID payment cards and the
pay with a thumb print options until I know they are more secure. The
problem is the convenience (and complication of technology) blinds the
consumer from the problems.

Mike,

Me too, though I don't know if I believe this statement at the end of the

"Also, if you carry two cards with radio-frequency identification embedded
in them, those signals will cancel each other, and protect you from
electronic pickpockets."
