Why the Mythbusters won't do RFID (last hope Adam Savage) - YouTube

That just proves to me that the RFID chips currently used by credit card companies must be highly hackable.

If they were hacker-proof, they'd let them be tested to show the consumer how safe they were.

Same thing happen with the 9/11 mythbusting. I thought about doing this mythbuster myself by throwing a lego airplane at a tower of legos, and showing that though it may damage it... it cannot collapse it because the force of the blast cannot compare to the support it has at the bottom.

The only way for it to go down (as it rippled and fell in on itself as a demolitions would) would be if I set explosives prior. So after the legoplane, I lightup the firecrackers around the lego tower and watch it go down.

Then my wife's little brother enters his room, freaking out I just destroyed all his legos and grab the webcam and run away giggling.
