Not sure how great of threat this is but I don't feel like being the victim of identity theft.



I just got my CC renewal in the mail today. It has the paypass RFID in it. I called and asked for you without the RFID in it. I should be getting it in the mail in the upcomming weeks.

Saw a cool little informercial ad for a small wallet clip that was an rfid shield. Reviews show it worked too... just imagine when wireless payment systems come online... yipes!

thats why I asked for a non-rfid card.

My wallet has to have RFID cards in them for plant access.
So I got one made out of 100,000 stainless steel threads.

The way they are woven creates a Faraday cage or Faraday shield
and blocks all radio signals.

I was just in NYC and stopped in their shop to pick up another one.

I am sure there are copies on the market, but these have a lifetime
warranty that is unconditional. Just one a phone call and a new
one is on the way, no questions asked.

Thank OJ.

I do need a new wallet. Mine is about 10 years old and starting to show its age. I need to research this futher and find one that I like. I here a couple of additional links with rfid blocking wallets. I should also find one for my passport.
