RFID Sleeves to Block Identity Theft

As we make our way through the 21^st century, advances in technology make things more convenient for travelers, but also for those looking to take advantage of unsuspecting tourists.

Radio frequency identification devices can be found in a variety of items, from electronic toll tags on highways to tracking implants for pets. RFID tags have also made their way into important documents like your passport and credit cards. These devices essentially store an electronic version of its physical counterpart, allowing RFID readers to pick up the information wirelessly.

Such readers are easily available, even on Ebay, allowing a potential thief to read your personal information from a distance. A range of products is available for people looking to protect themselves from digital pickpockets, from wallets to RFID blocking jeans. These items seem a bit overkill, and thankfully there is a simple solution offered by PacSafe.

Available on Amazon, these radio frequency blockers are the convenient solution for cautious travelers. Made with an aluminum-paper composite, PacSafe’s simple RFID sleeves are slim, lightweight and available for both credit cards and passports.
