How To Make A RFID Blocking Wallet

December 29th, 2005 Leave a comment Go to comments

Like the title says, here’s how you can cut down on anonymous spying and decrease your privacy vulnerability in one fell swoop. Somehow, I don’t think this is going to be a hit with the ladies.

With the proliferation of RFID devices and related privacy concerns, it seemed due time to create the RFID Blocking Duct Tape Wallet. There are many ways to prevent Radio Frequency ID tags from being transmitted from devices. I often use my work badge and school ID which both contain RFID tags. With drivers licenses, credit cards, and cash now beginning to contain RFID tags, why not create the wallet.

    Most places on the web say to wrap your wallet in “tin foil”. I am sick of hearing that RFID signals are blocked by Aluminum foil. They are not stop believing it. My father in law is a radio engineer and he has to block radio signals all of the time. The best material is Pure Copper which complies with the US government Tempest regulations.

    I don’t know about most places, but the wallet in the article is a DIY-job with, drumroll please, duct tape. The universal solution, baby!
