Mastercard PayPass - The Emperor Has No Clothes: "Have any of you seen their new commercial with the elephant?

They seem to be basing an entire commercial on what I consider a serious flaw In the commercial the guy has a cold and the elephant goes out and picks him up some soup, cold medication and a blanket. It just walks up to the scanner and waves the card and bing the card gets billed. No one seemed to care that it was obviously not the card holder making the purchase. I don't expect security to be any better in the real world."
