I would say "yes". I have a rooted Android and it was very easy for me to download and install the software required to scan cards. I did this as an experiment only, I only used this on my own cards to see what information I could get off them from just passing my phone near to them. After doing that I have always used a shielded card holder.
I also never have NFC or Bluetooth running unless I'm actively using it.
The app NFSee works great. Some of my cards just straight up give the credit card number out wirelessly :facepalm:
