I can't open the links on this page, this YouTube vid may be an advert but it gives you some info too - I wonder what blocks people skimming your CCs? Aluminium foil? How could we test to see if stuff works?

Protect Yourself RFID and Skimming (OT)

Hey everyone, this is an advertisement to get you to buy sleeves for your cards, just ignore it, I am sure you can use some thing else to protect that chip information, take a look at the video on how they are able to get your credit card info by just walking behind you, does anyone have other ideas?

I was worried about info being stolen at a distance from my passport so did some research. The aluminum foil thing came up, as did--duct tape! It has aluminum in it. So I went to walmart and bought a roll of pretty colored duct tape and made a 'wallet' to keep my passport in.

There's actually a real wallet pattern out there made from duct tape, that you can Google for. I didn't want to go to all that trouble and just made a slide in pocket for mine, but if a person wanted to, you can do a full wallet out of the tape that not only holds your cc but also your bills, just like a regular wallet. Fun!

Samala,
