A report on the "War on Cash" in the Netherlands, where a train station in Woerden has become the first to close its platforms to anyone without a smart card. The hosts argue this is a forced transition away from physical currency, noting the difficulties this creates for tourists and the loss of privacy in public transit.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/630-double-twister/chapter/london-s-cashless-bus-system-and-social-control.md

London's move toward a completely cashless bus system is analyzed as a step toward a "slave ID" society. The hosts argue that forcing passengers onto Oyster cards allows the government to track movements and eventually implement a credit-based system where travel can be remotely disabled.

### RFID Transit Cards, Myki and Privacy Concerns

- **Episode:** [222: Earle in the Gulf](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/222-earle-in-the-gulf.md)
- **Published:** 2010-07-31
- **Time:** 1:56:17–1:59:37
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/222-earle-in-the-gulf/chapter/rfid-transit-cards-myki-and-privacy-concerns.md

The "Myki" smart card system in Australia, similar to London's Oyster card, is being used by police to track individuals' movements for criminal investigations. While officials claim the technology is only used for "the children" or extreme cases like murder, the hosts argue it represents a significant privacy violation. They suggest using Faraday cages or lead foil to prevent unauthorized RFID snooping.
