    RFID Chips in your Credit Cards and Drivers license..A Cause for Concern?

    Just wondering how much truth there was to this? Ive been reading contradictory reports on this..Even read that all 50 states now use RFID chips in your Drivers license?

    Some state governments are adding a new technology called radio frequency identification chips (also known as RFIDs) to driver’s licenses that will make it easy – critics say — for state officials to track citizens. The technology is not new; it is used by large retailers like Walmart to track shipments and in next generation credit cards. Such RFID chips are already being implanted in driver’s licenses in four states: Michigan, Vermont, New York, and Washington. A committee of the California state legislature killed a plan to place the chips in driver’s licenses in the Golden State.

    The pickup range of RFIDs isn't very far, typically inches to a foot or so. But if this worries you there are wallets with RF shielding that will stop anyone from reading RFIDs in that wallet.

    I now use an RFID shielding wallet for that purpose which also prevents credit cards from being read remotely. Interestingly enough, wallets if this type are often opened in airport security lines, as they cannot be screened properly.

    Also, Nexus cards, when us issued to you, come in a sheath preventing a remorse read. The instructions that come with this request that you really keep security in mind.
