Companies killed Mythbusters segment on RFID vulnerabilities

Copy and paste: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-St_ltH90Oc

From »blog.wired.com/sterling/ ··· -my.html and »www.boingboing.net/2008/ ··· ies.html ...

"Check out the first two minutes of this clip of Mythbusters' Adam Savage telling the folks at the HOPE hackercon about how the Discovery Channel was bullied by big credit-card companies out of airing a program about how crappy the security in RFID tags is."

One statement is telling and predictive of someone testing RFID security in credit cards. It was made after Mr. Savage apologized for being under restriction on producing such a show;
"You do have about three thousand people in the room who aren't under such legal arrangements"
There's nothing like lawyers trying to put out a fire with gasoline

I expect, and hope, that we'll next see some YouTubes showing the testing of RFID tags.

What if...

...weak RFID and other CC frauds were just another way to launder money? And, the CC companies get a write-off to boot?

Adam went back on his statement and corrected his facts. There was no quash of the story, Beyond Productions (the company that produces Mythbusters) decided to change the story in the episode of their own accord.
