But if wrapping your passport or your cards in aluminium foil is all it takes, and these new wallets START at $80, I have a question?<br><br>Why not just cut a couple strips of aluminum foil the size and shape of a dollar bill and line the inside of the wallet you ALREADY HAVE?

The REAL ID will be even easier to get everyones' information from, especially since it will have ALL bank account(s) info, credit cards, SS#, Name (duh), Address, Phone#'s, Passport info, etc., etc., pretty much everything about you - SO, SON'T fall for that "Oh it's safer..." b*ll$#!t!!!! Because IT IS NOT! (They're going to start the marketing tricks @ DMV's & try to get people to go along w/it because it's 'easier.') <br>Anyways... What a stupid wallet. For all we know, it probably scans the stuff you have in your wallet and sends the info to some secret wallet spy tapping room. I wouldn't doubt if it had some creepy DNA analyzer either - there are cell phones that have it... Beware - Technology is NOT on our side anymore:(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[@LeX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 3:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/04/02/metal-wrapped-wallet-protects-against-id-theft/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/04/02/metal-wrapped-wallet-protects-against-id-theft/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hello @LeX,<br><br>Your comment regarding metal wrapped wallets is very insightful.
