So I've gotten the shiny new RFID passport issued by the US gov't.
The government insists it's secure.
Hypothesizing that perhaps the government might not be right in this case, is there any homebuilt method of shielding it?
Would carrying it wrapped in a layer of alu-foil do anything except make me look like a paranoid at the airport (not that I mind, but I don't want to do that if it's not really going to improve security significantly)? Would the gauge of foil matter?
My understanding is that the passport books already include this in their covers/spine, and examining the edge, it DOES seem that there are front/back cover plates laminated in there, but I don't see anything at the spine.
I'd rather not have to go buy a Faraday-case of dubious efficacy from a commercial source.
Thanks for any advice /. can offer.
