I love how in the actual episode they very discreetly made comments about it like it being in your credit card and such.

"when just a few minutes of a cellphne close to your body can cause changes in DNA, cancer, leukemia and side effects doctors seldom recognise"
A reference to who really does know would be helpful here.

Bad choice of words on my part. Thanks for catching it. Discovery depends on advertisers, many of whom use rfid for their own store security, and they would not want Mythbusters revealing how to defeat their security systems. Card companies in turn depend on the stores for their income, hence their concern. What I meant was that the issue was deeper than described.
