So any road, who wants to track weird beards in the first place? Your fair-isle sweater marks you out in the crowd to begin with, your socks have imprints of sandal permanently marking them and when you stick your finger in your ear and take a deep breath, tracking you is the last thing on anybody's mind.

Meanwhile, Apple Pay on my watch means, unlike cards, that my card details aren't shared with the shop at all.

Like I said, either system is weak field and you have to just about molest the card machine for it to register.

There again, Mrs Musket bought me a new wallet recently, bought for the style and quality. Turns out the embossed logo on it means it has stainless steel shielding. So there you go, seems we have subliminal paranoia after all.
