Tarnishing won't make any difference. If you feel it's too thin double it up, if you put something each side (leather, cloth whatever) to protect it then it should last a very long time.

Nowadays there’s a better chance you will lose your whole wallet to a pickpocket than encounter someone exploiting RFID.

There has been a great increase in 'creeper' car thefts in the UK. N.I. is seeing the biggest increase. Several expensive cars just last week. It targets 'key-less' cars.  In a 'creeper' theft the thief uses a special scanner reader to read the details of your electronic car 'key'. They can do it from up to 30ft from your key. Then they transfer the information to another device with which they can open your car and start it and drive away. All this inside about 3 minutes.

The technology these thieves use is the same as used for reading debit or credit cards, oe even bus passes

Bit off topic sorry.

Dumb cars, aka smart cars can be started and stopped from your phone, tablet, pc and remotely via evil corporation. Madness what they are promoting... Smart device = government/corporate control and data collection, not real smart. I drive a old 1993 4wd, I would never buy a digital car. Technology has been turned into a weapon and is being used against us!

The manufacturer is the biggest criminals!

you have only touched on the tip of the iceberg my friend. 5g isn't for us its for them!

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

Lead WOOL. Spread it on on a cloth

beat to a consistent thickness

sew it between layers

 

do not suck on your fingers while working with lead or chew on it

Lead WOOL. . . . 

you can buy sheets of extremely thin self-adhesive lead. Its meant for fly-making for fly fishing*. But, 1. its expensive for all you get  2. its much heavier than the aluminium tape, 3. if you go through a metal detector / scanner it will block that and you'll be pulled and searched    :police:

* who fishes for flies?  :blink:

Searched?   
Having lead in your wallet is not a crime

you can not be detained and searched  for walking down the street
