A number of credit card companies now issue credit cards with embedded RFIDs (radio frequency ID tags), with promises of enhanced security and speedy transactions.
But on today's episode of Boing Boing tv, hacker and inventor Pablos Holman shows Xeni how you can use about $8 worth of gear bought on eBay to read personal data from those credit cards -- cardholder name, credit card number, and whatever else your bank embeds in this manner.
Fears over data leaks from RFID-enabled cards aren't new, and some argue they're overblown -- but this demo shows just how cheap and easy the "sniffing" can be.
This episode is part of our ongoing series of interviews with some of the thinkers, hackers, and tinkerers at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology conference this year (Source: Xeni Jardin, Boing Boing TV, April 9, 2008 via You Tube, directly quoted from news story, February 1, 2012).

What is the Scanner Guard Card
The Scanner Guard Card is the size of a credit card that is designed to protect personal information stored on credit cards, debit cards, smart cards, RFID driver's licenses and any other RFID Cards from e-pickpocket thieves using handheld RFID scanners.
The Scanner Guard Card is half as thick as a standard credit card so it will not increase the size of your wallet. It is very flexible and durable.
The Scanner Guard Card is composed of a mixture of metals that disrupt the scanner from reading the RFID signals. There are outside and inside coatings of our patent pending metal mixture for protection of RFID personal information. This coating is not rigid, so the card is very flexible.

Wireless identity theft, also known as contact-less identity theft or RFID identity theft, is a form of identity theft described as "the act of compromising an individual's personal identifying information using wireless (radio frequency) mechanics. Basically, for around $40 a thief can purchase a RFID scanner, conceal it in a bag and when they walk past you they can scan your wallet or purse for credit cards, debit cards, smart cards, RFID driver’s licenses and any other RFID card.

What Are The Directions?
Simply add two Scanner Guard Cards into a wallet, credit card holder or clip as shown in the pictures below to block all unwanted RFID Scanners. You want to sandwich your credit cards, debit cards and other RFID cards in between two Scanner Guard Cards.
We recommend that you only place up to 4 RFID cards in between your Scanner Guard Cards. If you have a stack of more then 4 RFID cards, then simply slip a single Scanner Guard Card in the middle of your stack. RFID cards are credit cards, debit cards, SmartCards, some driver's licenses and cards displaying the RFID logo.
