Any idea what this is?This is most likely equipment related to the latest testing sponsored by MasterCard (PayPass system). This time they are including PATH in the test. They are doing more testing on using their card system that ties directly to a debit or credit card when you put it against the reader.

(The Port Authority (PATH) is mentioned about halfway down in the above article.

You'll note that it took longer than anticipated in the articles for the test to actually start.
