Here's What's on the Shelves of the Paranoia Market
Thanks to RFID technology, those with passports, drivers licenses and credit cards become potentially high-risk victims of identity thieves in possession of a counterfeit RFID reader. That's opened up the market for a spate of reader-blocking accessories, from wallets to fanny packs to bra stashes. The styles abound, including wallets woven from Stewart/SNDS's slick stainless-steel billfold; Tumi's ID Lock-enhanced accessories; and the more minimalist Kickstarter-funded HuMn wallet. Prices can go into the hundreds of dollars, but the more thrifty have discovered that putting your goods in a simple Altoids tin works, too.
