Off topic RFID credit cards
Credit card security issue - Just got a notice that one of my credit cards is going no swipe necessary RFID. Looks like I will be looking for a new wallet that blocks access. I noticed Amazon has card sleeves as well as wallets. These cards will let thieves access your card while it is still in your wallet if they get within a couple of feet.
Those aluminum wallets you see advertised
on TV claim that they will stop remote CC reading.
True but I don't want to be sitting on an aluminum
Wallet. They are now coming out with nylon ones and leather ones with some sort of mesh.

wrap the aluminum around your head
