I saw this video tonight on the news. Scary!

Armed with a credit card reader he bought for less than $100 on-line and a netbook computer, WREG On Your Side Investigators put Augustinowicz to the test.
For about an hour he patrolled Beale Street, looking for RFID chips to read, and credit card information to steal.
"There you go," said Augustinowicz scanning one willing participant's wallet. "It's a MasterCard," he explained looking at the man's credit card number and expiration date pop up on the screen.
Even scarier, Augustinowicz says bad guys could work a crowd, stealing numbers and then e-mail them anywhere in the world.
"After a game here I could literally pull couple thousand cards," Augustinowicz explained to a group of women visiting from Chicago.
Using just an off-the-shelf card reader, Augustinowicz explained he could swipe credit card numbers, expiration dates, and in some cases, even people's names.
It's enough, Augustinowicz says, to do damage.
"We've done it," he insisted. "We've picked up the phone, called 800 numbers, ordered stuff under a fake name, shipped it to a foreclosed home and the product comes in the mail."
