AMEX Blue Goes RFID; Blogger says 'Leave Home Without It.'

Some of these folks remind me of my grandfather who refused to use indoor plumbing when it came along in who knows when. The family installed the necessary facilities off the old kitchen; he continued his trek to the latrene, so to speak. It's said he finally sat down on the side of progress... that would be the inside of progress... one bitterly cold February night.

Here's the short story: American Express has announced that it will add the ExpressPay RFID-based payment system to all new Blue cards issued by the company.

Here's a grand daddy of a reaction: Not that we don't trust you or anything, Amex, but excuse us if we leave home without it for now.
