3. Thanks. Posted to Facebook.

Mine is clear of radio waves, but expires this year, so next one may have the problem. I'm going to make a aluminum lined wallet soon.

4. I see a market for "RFID-Secure" wallets...

...with foil or window-screen type meshes worked right in to the leather, or fabric, or whatever it is made of.

5. They are on the market already.

I remember seeing one, but not knowing why it was important for the material to be impenetrable by rays. Was in a hurry, did not read the specs.
