Sure, you can easily skim the card with a portable reader, but it won't gain you much, as skimming in this situation is not the same as being able to duplicate the card or even being able to run a transaction. | |

Anyway, knowing that a card publish my last banking operations would worry me: it is not secret information but still private one, and I used a RF blocking wallet (provided by my bank when I asked them) for that reason. (But I did not downvote) | |
