Barclays gave me a contactless bank card and it interfered with my Oyster card. :evil:

It shouldn't as they use slightly different technology although you will "soon" be able to use use your bank card to travel and not need an Oyster card at all

Giving TFL the right to extract money from your bank account with no verification? I can see absolutely nothing that could go wrong with this plan.

Except mobile phones won't ever ignite petrol through emitting radiation, ever. The only regulatory reason mobile phones are forbidden on forecourts is because public authorities don't want people to become distracted whilst re-fuelling.
