The RFID weblog reports that “A growing number of countries are implementing RFID chips into their passports. One of the purposes behind the RFID chips is to make passports much harder to counterfeit.” The use of RFID chips (RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification and is used to remotely read information with a suitable receiver) could pose a security risk in itself however, with techno terrorists using a scanner or small handheld reader to remotely read out the sensitive information contained on the chip.
But fear not, as DIRFWear have come up with a passport case that is supposed the shield your passport and the contained RFID chip by blocking any radio frequencies that could access the RFID chip. And a wallet that can protect all your RFID tagged credit or health insurance cards is available as well.
