Subject: Allay RFID privacy concerns by letting the end user decide when it
transmits There is a concern that RFID tags embedded in credit cards may make the presence of such cards detectable by anyone with an RFID reader. To answer that concern, we have an easy way to make RFID tagged cards normally invisible, but active when you want them to be. Background: RFID tags are appearing everywhere. They can be embedded in plastic cards such as credit cards, id cards, passports and other places. There are privacy concerns about these tags being read without the owners knowledge. Solution: "RFID Shield" lets you choose when your tags are readable.
