Wow, that's very scary...

I've talked to people that drilled the RFID chip out of their credit cards... I believe you have to leave it on a passport for the passport to work...

ATM card skimmers, cards skimmed in restaurants by unsavory employees, now this. Makes a lot of sense that someone will try and skim with RFID info. One of my RFID cards actually came with a protective sleeve that was metal-lined. Something to think about. Google gave me this:

Had checked all my cards...none are RFID. My choice is to tell my bank don't give me any of these as I'll shred them if you do. Then order again specifying non RFID. If they can't deliver, I'll solve it by using a different banks card that is non RFID. It's all about choices!

I sent this video to a few friends... One of them also mentioned the metal sleeve...

I suppose you could also wear a tin foil beanie...

if you carry a bi-fold wallet, take a 12"x12" piece of foil and fold it to fit in the bill fold area of your wallet. Make sure to foil covers your cards. Hopefully that helps to solve the problem.
