What I want to know is how much did RSA Data Security, Inc., pay MGM to
feature their smart cards in the movie?

RSA's even sponsoring some private screenings of the film in selected
cities; the Seattle screening is (not surprisingly) at the Crossroads
theater just down the street from MS Main Campus.
