Subject: London transport authority acknowledges contactless technology
risk

How many organisations have warned users of their cards about the risks
vs how many have been discovered and reported ?

I was checking the balance on my Oyster card [1] on-line and noticed
this:

Card clash

Keeping your Oyster card in your wallet or purse with other cards could
cause card clash.


This all looks like commonsense to me - and I only visit the capital
occasionally.


Yes but I currently have one holder for all cards - who will pay for the
extra holders I need now?


I thought Oyster card holders were issued free of charge.

Can Tfl assure me that I get a red light and not credit the wrong card.


If you keep the other card out of the way, I assume this will be the
situation. If you pay using the wrong card, is it the end of the
world?

The current system works. How can I keep it?
