"I like that it's on your keychain and it's fast to use," said Kristie Beenau, 36, of Peoria, Ariz., who has used ExpressPay for about six months at a CVS Pharmacy and fast-food restaurants. "I charge everything anyways. Now I wave it rather than get my card out. It's more convenient."

Ms. Beenau is precisely the kind of buffoon this is targeted for. She will happily take a sub-dermal implant when the time comes, I'm sure.

I would suggest to you," he said, "the greatest obstacle is going to be security."

Og course it is. That is why the next step, for "security" will be an implantable RFID.

Mobil already does this with their speedpass. Frankly it does save me time when I use it : )

Not a unique invention.

The new cards have chips imbued with radio-frequency identification, or RFID,

Big Brother, thy name is 'RFID'.

Oooh! I like this. I'll put a reader at the entrance door of my shop, and just charge everyone. How cool!

Seems pretty stupid to have to buy RFID sensors when you could just use the existing laser scanners if you want contactless scanning. After all, grocery stores are already using laser scanners to read discount cards.
