RFID Transit Cards, Myki and Privacy Concerns
The "Myki" smart card system in Australia, similar to London's Oyster card, is being used by police to track individuals' movements for criminal investigations. While officials claim the technology is only used for "the children" or extreme cases like murder, the hosts argue it represents a significant privacy violation. They suggest using Faraday cages or lead foil to prevent unauthorized RFID snooping.
