i don't agree with that it's very unsecure. because the chips are small and they not have their own power source you have be very close to the reader to be able to read it. there are bigger more powerful readers available but they are really really big. not exactly pocket sized.
if someone steals your rfid card then it's a different story but it's the same if someone steals your credit card.
