Yes, a bit scary. I wonder what the cost of producing such cards would be
and whether the cost would outweigh what is lost via fraud.
I can see that the technology to change the number within the card wouldn't
be too problematic but I'm wondering how the retailer would know if that is
the correct security number.

New cards coming along with a security code that changes every hour.
