Apple Pay Possible Secuity Flaw

That does sound overly paranoid to me. If I were conscious, I would be aware of someone touching my watch.

But if you're really concerned you can force lock the Apple Watch as follows:

Press and hold the side button until the sliders appear. Then drag the lock device slider to the right. You will then be required to enter the passcode the next time you try to use the Apple Watch.

I Don't know about you but I'd notice if someone was touching my arm. If I was drunk enough in public that I didn't notice, I would de sever to have my money stolen.

Pick pocketing doesn't involve grabbing someone's wrist and holding it over a terminal. In fact, a good pick pocket barely touches you.

Would a pickpocket victim sue the bank that issues their credit card which was stolen, because the credit card should have been permanently attached to the victim, or equipped with some electronic detection system to determine it was no longer in the victim's possession?

I think a far-fetched notion has progressed even further into the fantasy realm.

And if they take cash, should we sue the government for making cash hard to trace?

And then we should sue the government again for the increase in taxes they will levy on us to pay for the hard-to-trace lawsuit 🙂

Yes, indeed, we're way out there ...
