RF technology - be aware!


A lot of us may have already been aware of the RF complications that were experienced with "modernizing" passports.

Here's a you tube video dealing with RF technology as respects credit cards. With ease of use comes less protection, potentially.

This is a video everyone *MUST* see.

That is why many RF cards come with a lead sleeve.

Contact your bank and tell them you don't want the RF chip. We did and got replacement card without it from Chase Bank.
