Subject: Oyster cards damaged by mobile phones??



I don't buy the 'being near a computer' argument for one minute, but could
oyster card be damaged by mobile phones?

Possible, though unlikely.

Oysters might be affected when placed on shop counters that use RF security
stickers (the counter 'busts' the chip in the sticker by pounding it with a
very strong radio wave).
