Shielding Material

No.

That material has a very fine number of metallic particles embedded int the plastic to bleed off static electricity, but nowhere near enough to act as a Faraday cage.

You need something metal or with a small metal mesh.

You may not need that unless you are in the 3.5 percent that have the new rfid credit cards. The cards you have to swipe or plug in cannot be read remotely.

Get a metal card case.

Just fold the foil in the top of an instant coffee tin in to a pocket and fit into your bill fold, keep your credit card?s in there.

Thin copper / Nickle film foils are available This should be used to cover your pouch / mobile cover / purse etc - which will be a good shield.

Mu metal.

I was think mu metal, but don't know where to get it. There were places I checked that have it, but only sold in large quantities. It is not an item that the average consumer would be looking for.

If you can find an old discarded computer, I suspect there might be a mu metal shield around the hard drive.

Try this:

Line each side ,on the inside fold of your wallet,with aluminum foil tape,like the type used for hvac ducting.

When closed,the credit cards will be enclosed in a "sandwich" of aluminum,which should act as a shield for the low power RFID chip.

I have disabled my chips on my credit cards by covering the card-chip itself with the aluminum foil tape.

There are instructions on line about locating and drilling or cutting out the chip completely.

The card will still work without it.

I use belt and suspenders when it come to snooping by "big brother business".

This same rfid can be used for tracking your location,not only within a store but

elsewhere as well.

If a 5 watt signal from Mars can be detected,an RFID signal is not a problem with the

right equipment.

There is probably enough random rf "noise" everywhere now to keep the chip

energized.

And I don't want to get into the phony cell phone towers and their purposes,as well

as the "overheighth detectors" on the interstates,that could be used to record license

plate numbers just as easily as their stated purpose.

(They kind of look like binoculars,don't they?).

Imagine this scenario:

A database could be compiled of all plate numbers,and a pattern could be established

for all daily commuters,and the vehicle that makes frequent trips from say,NY to

Florida.

Or east coast to west coast.

Sounds like a mule to me.

And with remote facial recognition, the possibilties expand exponentially.

Resistance is futile.You will be tracked.

Time for me to put on my foil lined hat.

Jut call me the tin man.

"I don't mind hearing voices,I just wish they would reach a consensus."

Time for me to put on my foil lined hat.

Problem solved! Tuck your credit card into your tin foil lined hat!

That creates another problem:

The energy harvesting of my brain waves it's thermal energy by the rfid chip.

The energy thus stored is used to transmit a compressed burst of information to Big

Brother Big Business (the BBBB) when the hat is removed.

There are RFID chips as small as a speck of pepper,and smaller.

Who knows how many have been inhaled or sprinkled on your meal?

How much infant formula is carrying rfid or nanobots to track you from the womb to

the tomb?

They can trace a bad hamburger back to the cow,and it's ancestral lineage, and every

feed lot it has ever been on,and this is just the USDA.

(Hmm! Maybe they should be in charge of immigration?)

I could go on and on, deeper and deeper into the possibilites,but that would sound

paranoid.

Consider the internet of things,just around the corner.

Remember,the military has new technology 10 years before the public even knows

about it.

"Paranoia will destroy ya," like poison,but remember: "a little poison is physic.."

Or maybe I sound like a scifi writer.

But remember,today's sci fi is tomorrow's reality.

After reading this, I'm now paranoid.

Here is a little more food for your justified paranoia:

The dark line in the picture is a human hair.

And remember,this was several years ago.

How small are they now?

A Faraday cage can just be aluminum. Steel will also reduce close-by magnetism. Mu-metal is gross overkill for what you want.
