One day they may be able to plug into your brain and add and subtract what you owe from it... Won't that be a wonderful world?

As long as you don't need a bio-engineered mutant dolphin to retrieve your password if you forget it.

Babak and I just saw vending machines like that in Austria when we were there for DeepSec last week...

all photos and videos from that trip are visible at this gallery here, btw.

Seems like a neat concept in theory... but i'm sure that the protections are not as good in some implementations. Does it require a password at all times or can someone with your phone just key in whatever they want if they lift it from your pocket?
