We show that, contrary to the conventional viewpoint, such models are not ruled out by the existing low energy data on K^0, B^0 and D^0 oscillations and rare K and B-decays. We also show that these models of MxFV can have surprising new signatures at the LHC and the Tevatron.Latex, 4 pages, 1 figure. Version as publishedHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
