[LINK] No Touch Pick-Pockets - RFID Hacked and Cloned

[Geoffrey Ramadan]

This technology is based on the TI 134.2 KHz transponder.
http://www.ti.com/rfid/shtml/prod-trans-RI-TRP-BFOB.shtml

This technology is quite old, but still very popular. If you were going 
to do this again, you would probably use Mifare (http://mifare.net/)

I would not be too concerned about the issues raised here. It is still 
not a trivial exercise to skim and decrypt the data. Also, I would think 
hi-tech criminals would spend their resources on more profitable ventures.
