Good tip on the Altoid tin.

I don’t know about imprisoning the inventor of RFID. It is a very powerful and useful technology when used appropriately. Like many technologies, the problem is with how we use it, rather than the technology itself.

Tracking inventory = good
Tracking me = bad

In my opinion.

Altoid mint tins work excellent for RFID
credit cards. It defeated turnstile activation at a local facility.

RFID is the most anti-privacy tool on the
planet.

Whoever designed it should be imprisoned
for life.

Very nice, but few people know such things exist. My credit card company was shocked when I rejected an RFID enabled card and requested a conventional card. They did provide one.

I recently went on a trip out of the country and picked up a couple of RFID blocking passport wallets for me and my wife since we both have new RFID enabled passports. They can be picked up from thinkgeek.com or difrwear.com.
