Electronic Pick Pocketing

Be careful folks at those crowded malls this Christmas. Pick pocketing is going hightech, your credit card info can be taken without you even knowing about it.

Yup, gotta cover all your stuff with aluminum foil. Keeps the bad guys from reading your cards, makes the TSA guys get physical and if you wear it on your head, it gives the shrinks something to talk to you about.

Some of the fancier credit cards have RFID technology built in, and they now make wallets which block the signal

US passports also have RFID chips, so make sure you also shield it from passive scanning equipment.
