The US Government's decision to issue passports with embedded smart chips starting August 14 has been criticized by privacy groups concerned about the security of the electronic info it holds. QJ reader Snowspot.net, commenting on that article, said the new passports "Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Hackers are hackers for a reason. Let just hope if someone is trying to hack these things they aren't terrorists."

Snowspot isn't being overly cautious as hackers have proven that they can, in fact, steal human identity by scanning RFID chips. Hi-tech robbers can also walk down the street and find out how much money you have in your pocket by scanning RFID in money.

Hopefully, the RFID blocking Wallet and Passport Case from DIFRWEAR may offer valuable protection from both terrorists and thieves. The RFID blocking wallets and passport cases contain a layer of RF shielding, which prevents RFID readers from scanning the electronic data money and passports contain. To allow authorized RFID readers, simply open the wallet and direct it towards the reader.

These cases are made of quality, long-lasting leather and the wallet comes in stylish black, pink and red colors. The passport case is available in black, red and tan. Prices start at $15 plus $3 for worldwide shipping.
