Because if you don't have to have metal-to-metal contact to transfer data, you can have something over it (say, cloth or plastic) for physical protection or concealment and still be able to read the thing by touching whatever's over it. You'd still touch the reader to something, but it doesn't have to be the storage device itself.
Anywho, there was another article about this thing a couple of months ago. I'd look it up, but I've got a bunch of other stuff to do and for some stupid reason my modem (yes, I'm still on dial-up) won't connect at more than 26.4kbps. I don't feel like arguing with it any more than I have to.

Is that a profanity filter I hear overloading? Or did Steincastle censor himself?
Seriously, man, there's no call for that many curse words, ever.
