So as silly as the post looked, benjamindees made a good point.  "Request private key!"  A long range nfc reader (hah, far field?) could be a security issue.

I've heard recent stories from the UK, saying nfc payment systems are reading cards accidentally (at longer ranges than intended). Clearly if this can happen accidentally, there's the possibility for this kind of attack to made deliberately.
