I’m surprised if it will be fresh news for someone that the sweetest dream of the government of almost any state on this planet is total and absolute control over every citizen (and not citizen) of a hypothetical country. For this reason, if in the bright future every baby is not sewn into the head (the probability of " losing " this limb approaches absolute zero, and for this reason it is a better option than an arm or leg) an infrared beacon with personal data, then in your passport and credit cards - for sure.
Not being a complete paranoid, I still wouldn’t really want my every step, every financial transaction (it doesn’t matter, whether it’s buying a condom or a car) to be tracked by “interested” people. And I know for sure that I am far from alone, especially in the midst of technically advanced people.
And until recently, the completely obvious way to protect my authenticity didn’t occur to me (even though I didn’t really think about it), but, as often happens, the Internet brought an elegant and simple solution on the tail.
A young girl Jessica, living somewhere in the American expanse, once just dropped her bag in the mud. Desperate to find something like this, she decided to sew a bag for herself, and a friend advised using a fabric sewn with a huge amount of copper threads for this. As many have already understood, it turned out to be nothing more than a “Faraday bag”, various variations of which Jessica sells on the Internet . These are bags, small bags, wallets, passport covers and, theoretically, anything. And although American hand-made prices personally confuse me a little ($ 25-35 per bag), the idea itself is righteous.
This venture even has a certain potential - the patented copper fabric blocks the signal transmission from the tag in the frequency range from 10MHz to 20GHz, while most smart cards transmit signals at 13MHz and 15MHz. I admit honestly - if the next passport that will be given to me by the passport office of my beloved city contains an RDIF chip - I personally will sew a “Faraday cover” with the country's main video blogger on the cover.
