Obviously public transport is a prime place for this to happen given the
crowding but a couple of things:

- Surely a POS terminal is linked to a traceable bank account which means
as soon as someone complains then the games up isn't it? Unless they're
even set the bank account and POS account up as another unsuspecting
victim.
- Wifi doesn't work well in the tube. Though LU have helpfully put it in
most (all?) underground stations now so I guess thats not an issue.

Or just keep your contactless card in your wallet next to an Oyster,
and the "card clash" will ensure neither can be read.

Does that work? Card clash usually results in one card being read, more
often than not, surely?
