Just think what could happen with a contactless system to read the data on
the card , when it falls in the hands of those using it for fraudulent

Just mingle in an underground train with the punters, and obtain all of the
personal data stored on it... sounds pretty horendous. I doubt if you will
ever have an oyster card reader...


What personal data? The card has an identity. The central system
can correlate that identity with a name and address. What makes you
think that information is stored on the card?
