More comfortable than aluminum foil in your pants. There's some seriously scary stuff out there in the world -- from bird flu and terrorism to depleting our planet of natural resources. There's not a lot that the average person can do about much of the things that may keep us up at night. Luckily, there's one scary prospect on the horizon that we can help with -- and it doesn't require lining your pants with aluminum foil! Aren't you lucky? Imagine if you will, some of these possible real-life scenarios: A shadowy character crouches unseen in the bushes. He doesn't have a gun or a knife, but he has a laptop. He watches as his prey walks by. Invisible radio waves emitting from the credit-card in his wallet get picked up by the laptop, recorded, and saved onto a cloned card. For all intents and purposes, this man becomes you, and has decided to go shopping. Or maybe he picked up the passkey that lets you into your office building. With ease, he can now walk into your secure office building and steal your company's equipment. The next morning, security guards are waiting in your cube to have a chat. The nightmare scenario was brought forth recently - a bomb lies waiting in a garbage can. Sensitive electronics read the identification cards and passports of the people who walk by, waiting until somebody of your nationality comes close... It's a scary world out there. Credit card companies and governments are putting RFID chips in your cards and identification, sometimes without your knowledge. Protect yourself and your money with a wallet that specifically inhibits those radio frequencies from escaping until you pull your card out. Did we mention you don't need to put foil in your pants? It's important to us that you know that you do NOT have to put foil in your pants. Very important. No foil. In your pants... none... zip... nada. Well I been making billfolds and other leather items for 53 years. I went on the net to find out for myself what all this chatter was about security billfolds to block RFID transmissions and how I could make one. Seems like its pretty easy to do. I checked on Instructables an You-Tube. Seems all I needed was thin layer of tin foil between the outside layer and inside layers of the billfold. I found many types of foil. You can buy tape foil or thin layers. So if your like me now you can give your customers an added feature with a RFID blocking billfold or purse. Seems to me to that now the billfold Mfg. Are charging an arm and leg for there secure products so this should give us a legs up on pricing to give are customers a brake for once. We know it won't ad much to the price to make it secure for them.
