From CNN:

Others are more skeptical. Simson Garfinkel, another MIT researcher who follows RFID, said credit card companies ought to be using "smart" cards with public key cryptography, a very strong form of security.


I would kill my parents if they named me Simson Garfinkel. I did a Google search for the guy and as best as I can figure, since he got his Masters in 1988, he was born around 1964, which is the year that "Simon & Garfunkel" got together officially. Now if his name has anything to do with the musical trio, (EDIT: duo, whatever) I feel sorry for that man.

EDIT: Here is the CNN article

Simon and Garfunkel were a trio? I feel really sorry for the poor dude who's name was left out. Or was it the Garfunkel brothers?

I think I could say "Garfunkel" all night. What a great word. :p

That's pretty funny. Even with that name he seems to be pretty successful... with MIT and all.

As far as funny names go, I used to know a person named Guy Mann back in 7th grade. French kid, kind of of an a$$wipe.

Paul and Art met in '53, copyrighted their first song in '55 and recorded their first record in '57.

People call me the "C-man" at my school as a joke, since my first name starts with a "C."

I knew a kid from middle school named Danny Glover. He was white.
