Actually there has been some small-scale hacking of MetroCards. Some trick involving folding/creasing them a certain way. May have been foiled by now, but for a while there was a big business in stations in certain sketchy neighborhoods, with in-the-know gang boys selling swipes at a big discount to the proper fare.
