'Yes, Virginia, You Do Need A Tinfoil Hat'
Ryan Singel writes on 27B Stroke 6:
Though the State Department has only just begun to issue new e-passports with RFID chips in them, one company is already offering a nice accessory for it -- an anti-snooping pouch.More here.
Paraben Forensic Tools, which sells hardware and software for pulling data out of computers and cell phones, is selling the "Passport StrongHold" for $15.
Made from layers of silver, copper and nickel, this portable faraday cage is intended to keep rogue RFID readers from snooping on your passport.
Sadly, this passport equivalent of a tin-foil hat is actually a good idea.
