I don't trust RFID. Too easy for someone to steal your info without you even knowing.Shorty82 wrote:I've heard a little bit about this new tech. It makes use of RFID and sounds cool.

I would think that the only info the RFID in the tickets would contain is a serial number of some sort so no personal information could be stolen. Disney, and other companies, are starting to use RFID technology in a lot of things. RFID has been used for years to keep track of containers in shipping yards, to identify pets, is growing in popularity for toll roads, and many other uses.Mr. D. wrote:I don't trust RFID.

My money (and Mickey's) says it's about cutting the staffing requirements at the turnstiles. Less secure, but we make it up in volume!Shorty82 wrote:Probably to speed up going through the turnstiles. Problems with the mag stripe on a ticket can slow the line almost to a halt.
I used to work for Burger King, recently they company set a new policy saying no crew can have cell phones due to someone using a device that looked like a cell phone to steal customers info from RFID cards.Shorty82 wrote:I would think that the only info the RFID in the tickets would contain is a serial number of some sort so no personal information could be stolen.

RFID is actually a lot more secure than most people think. According to this article RFID credit cards never transmit your actual card number, instead it transmits a unique number for that transaction and does s using 128 bit encryption. Even if a thief was able to capture and decrypt the number it would be useless to him.
The last company I worked for used RFID chips in the ID cards. They weren't anal about displaying badges inside the buildings so many people carried them in their wallets. I'd see someone approach an entry door, turn around, and jump in the air to wave their butt and ID card past the card reader to get in.Mr. D. wrote:I currently work for Amazon.com. they use RFID in the Id badges for clocking in and out.
