Not really. The card is something a person carries around. Besides the
cards can be made to be difficult to photocopy. And if stolen, they
can be treated the same as a stolen token: invalidated and a new one
generated as easy as kiss my hand.

hmmm. 

how do you know when to replace/regenerate the card, if the attacker
only duplicated the card, and returned the original to your wallet???

static human-legible information can be duplicated using vaious
fotografic techniques.


I like the Entrust thingamabob. Think Pareto's Law: It gives 80
percent of the functionality of a secure token for 20 percent of the
cost. (Actually, I think it gives 96 percent of the functionality of a
secure token for 20 percent of the cost -- Pareto squared.)

This maybe true, but i would still like to see some data to support this claim.
