Just how far would those near fields be? Would it be possible for somebody to set up a system that collects payments from any smart phone with a chip that happens to pass by? Surely this has been considered and will be "prevented," but if it's possible to break the security on such a system, it will be broken.
within the last week i heard a discussion on the radio in which someone sat in a room and culled information from RFID chips walking by with a readily available or make-able device. i only listen to NPR or consumer advocate Clark Howard so that had to be the source.
