There was a day when we could all be safe in ridiculing the tinfoil hat crowd. When I saw Adam Shostack with a piece of the shiny stuff wrapped around his badge at RSA this year, I thought that times may have changed. It's not quite the same concern. The foil headgear is intended to protect one from mind control, alien influences, and the MLB satellite. I'm not so much talking about keeping others out, as keeping my information in. As RFID creeps up in more and more places, perhaps it's time to start worrying about what information you might be leaking. Enter the RFID blocking wallet!
Tinfoil hat of the future or the next ubiquitous personal tech?

Technically, that was what we call conciousness raising. or perhaps segmentation. Because the rfids worked poorly enough that you didn't really need the tin foil.
But *boy* was it fun to hand out.

And so that's what it did, evidenced by my very clear memory of it.
