Tap a bankcard? You can even tape it to the back of your phone

Having cards on back of phone triggers the phones NFC reader for the cards ship, causing apps to launch or other messages to appear on screen.

I might be paranoid, but I like that my bankcards are in a metal case (I got it because it's water/dustproof, but I like the bonus) and I like that Wallet only activates the rfid for a second, then I'm no longer broadcasting.

Even if someone cloned your card info, they couldn't use it to do anything.
