Here is a YouTube interview with MythBusters Adam Savage talking about how they would not do an episode of MythBusters on RFID security because they (Discovery Channel) were intimidated by credit card companies legal teams.
I can certainly understand how credit card companies would freak out at this exposure. The MythBusters do a very thorough job of researching and testing "myths". It is certainly not a full scientific method, but anyone who watches them knows that they definitely present very compelling information.
I guess exposing information to the general public is simply not an acceptable practice if you are a credit card company. This is a shame, as I am sure it would have been a very interesting episode. I found this on Digg.com. Please go to the link to see the comments.
