Is this for real?
Are RFID's that badly beaten?

well it would make sense for them not to show everyone how to steal info like that on air, but mythbuster's is pretty good about editing and all, it would have been a good episode to let people know the risk they take with RFID

Or at least, Adam Savage talked about it for a while in a video on youtube.
Today's episode was excellent, btw. Awesome fire
