Some people may be disappointed or even worried to hear that tag writers will soon be everywhere. Like usual, when a new technology arrives, it can be used for something illegal, possibly making some security technologies obsolete.

But in many cases, attacks do not seem to cause enough trouble to change anything. Printers can be used to print barcodes of cheap wines and put them on expensive bottles, but apparently, supermarkets still use barcodes and sell wine, and printers are not illegal.

Time will tell how NFC phones will be used. These phones are also contactless card readers, and we can imagine a number of exotic uses for them.

Could be like telling the pants : “do not make the bell ring at the exit, you’re sold & paid”
