One thing to use for transit passes... another to put your credit card/banking on the line like that. I won't use this technology, unless there is absolutely no other choice (like, everybody uses it and there are no more credit cards in the world).

I'm scared Google will make this technology work. At least on the iPhone you can just hold it wrong and block the signal.
