RFID Wallets

GOG427 · 08-25-2008, 11:09 PM

Is anyone here thinking about getting RFID blocking wallet?
I may get one for my passport.

as long as your passport book is closed no RFID scanner can read it, as far as I know. So its kind of pointless.

Well from what i have read, they can read it from up to 5 feet while it closed.
I dont know seems like it may be a good idea as much as i travel.

Am I the only person on Earth that hasn't had identity theft? I flash my drivers license, passport, and credit cards all over American, Latin America, and the Caribbean and nothing so far.

No ID theft here yet, knock on wood.
