But the people who can exploit the system probably know it already:
In a fit of foot-stomping reminiscent of the recent court-ordered ban on a
talk regarding the vulnerabilities in the MiFare Classic-based CharlieCard
transport payment system, the Discovery Channel – which owns the show –
were told in no uncertain terms that “they were not going to air this
episode talking about how hackable this stuff was, and Discovery backed way
