RFID Blocking Wallet

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

It's a scary world out there. Credit card companies and governments are putting RFID chips in your cards and identification, sometimes without your knowledge. Protect yourself and your money with a wallet that specifically inhibits those radio frequencies from escaping until you pull your card out. Did we mention you don't need to put foil in your pants? It's important to us that you know that you do NOT have to put foil in your pants. Very important. No foil. In your pants... none... zip... nada.

The RFID Blocking Wallet is a high-quality leather billfold with a built in Faraday cage to block RFID transmissions. It has room for six credit cards, your cash, business cards and your ID. Don't get caught unprotected.

I may have to try that. Our badges at Foxconn can be read by the turnstile scanner we all have to pass through.....from 10 feet away...while in our wallets. Who's to say that the guards couldn't use that to also grab our other numbers? I might have to invest in one of these. If I still have a job. Foxconn (HP/Compaq) has fired 400 people from our plant in the past 2 months. They also manually changed the hours that we had worked. ie: we worked 8 hours per day, but they changed the hand-scanner times so that it shows we only worked 6.5 hours per day. Then they paid us accordingly. Any of you who buy HP products.....I hate you.

Anyway, if they'll do that with our paychecks, why wouldn't they try to steal our information, too?

(Yes, I'm filing a complaint with the state labour board, as is the rest of the tech staff)

They are going to be putting RFID chips in US passports so something like this could be useful.
