[osflash] Flash + Arduino - writing hardware drivers for RFID reader

[Glen Pike]

All your data are belonging to us...

...does this not have legal implications that you should also be 
discussing or is your demo making a point that this technology is not 
good because anyone can now access an RFID tag and some can even crack 
the data inside it given the right tools???

This is particularly worrying/interesting given that TfL are trialling 
the One Pulse system that essentially merges a credit card to the Oyster 
Card.

Discuss.
