The rfid can work trough fabric. So a shielded wallet is a smart choice. Technically someone can make you pay by tapping your pants with a terminal device. Does this happen allot? No not really. But technically possible and more likely when more people use tap.
Here there is a maximum amount that can be paid with only contactless payment without a PIN code. If the price is higher a pin prompt will show up automatically (max $25,-) If you pay more things in a short time with the rfid than the pin prompt will eventually show up. So an unlimited amount of low payments isn’t possible. (Do check your bank for these details.) So when you lose your card your account can’t be drained. (Unless you have less than the minimum amount on your account)
Phones can also be setup as a contactless payment method, and would physically work the same. With the benefits of having a stronger signal, and being locked behind your phone lock (facial recognition or whatever.)
Should I get one of those shielded wallets?

given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?
Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?
