Adam Savage has 'stepped back' from his initial comments in July  
according to a story on Cnet.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13772_3-10031601-52.html?tag=newsEditorsPicksArea.0

"MythBusters co-host Adam Savage is stepping back from public comments  
suggesting that legal counsel from several credit card companies led  
the Discovery Channel to pull the plug on an episode dedicated to  
security holes in RFID. "

and later

"There's been a lot of talk about this RFID thing, and I have to admit  
that I got some of my facts wrong, as I wasn't on that story, and as I  
said on the video, I wasn't actually in on the call," Savage said in  
the statement. "Texas Instruments' account of their call with Grant  
and our producer is factually correct. If I went into the detail of  
exactly why this story didn't get filmed, it's so bizarre and  
convoluted that no one would believe me, but suffice to say...the  
decision not to continue on with the RFID story was made by our  
production company, Beyond Productions, and had nothing to do with  
Discovery, or their ad sales department."

I guess someone needs to talk from Beyond Productions aspect to see  
what really occurred.
