This demo is surprising. Check your cards.

No RFID cards here

Think Passport and/or TWIC cards.

We are WAY behind Europe in regards to personal finance like debit
cards, etc.

How? You mean I don't REALLY have a debit card?

In Europe they use pre-loaded smart cards.

They use preloaded cards because their electronic banking system is
not that great across the borders. people are likely to cross.



I just don't understand how the elites don't understand the differences
in simple logistics here and over there... Comparing us to Europe just
doesn't work, it's apples to oranges.
