Got a note today from one of my card providers.
They will soon be sending me upgrade, a card
with RFID chip.

They say that the chip will provide a unique
transaction ID number for each purcahse, which
will make fraud less likely.

I'm thinking about the various Youtube videos of
guys walking around malls with scanners, and
harvesting CC numbers and personal data.

Should I destroy the FRFID and just use the
magnetic swipe?

Do they actually say that it is "RFID" or is it merely a chipped card (chip
and pin)? The latter has been used in the rest of the world for a very long
time rather than our primitive magnetic swipe cards? All of the North
American CC purveyors are supposed to be switching to chipped cards
although they are fighting it and dragging their feet.
