Sure you can transmit from 200 feet - but is the space in between secure..... ?

Easy enough to play your game:

Research Highlights Security Issues with NFC Payments - CIO.com

"At this point we believe it's important to highlight that designers of applications using NFC need to consider privacy because the intended short range of the channel is no defence against a determined eavesdropper."

Nothing is going to be 100% secure. Using a credit card in a store is not 100% secure. Your house, alarm and all is not 100% secure. Driving down the road is a gamble.

The point is whether it is secure enough or not. It is to this point I believe is the reason that we haven't seen Apple roll out their mobile payment system as yet. I think they are working on the total solution that includes security.
