Chase to issue RFID credit cards

Banks love it when you use plastic, so it's no surprise that biggie JP Morgan Chase is working to make it easier for you to use their credit cards. New "blink" cards to be tested in two U.S. cities later this year will use RFID to let you wave your card at a point-of-sale terminal instead of swiping it, a system that will be familiar to anyone who's used Mobil's Speedpass to buy gas. Chase says the system will be as secure as traditional POS terminals; we give it about a week before the RFID crackers prove them wrong.
