This article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22545804 appears to
vindicate what I have always said about contactless cards.

Not only are they vulnerable to fraud by villains with scanners who
don't need to get close enough to arouse suspicion, but it now seems
that they're also vulnerable to *accidental* use!

I'm very glad that I ditched my CapitalOne card when they insisted [1]
on replacing it with a contactless card.

I don't believe I've seen one of these. Is it obvious what they are? Or
might I find that the CC company sent me one when the current card
expired and I didn't know it?

Put "contactless card symbol" into Google.
