    If your RFID chip be read up to 5 foot away. Meaning your card could be read entering and exiting a store. They may not be able to use your card but if there is a string of numbers that don't change, you can be tracked going in and out of businesses.

    Just bought a Dockers wallet with RFID. It uses "...special inner lining...keeps info safe when the wallet is closed." There is that enclosed card which states that it is a RFID secure wallet as well as a little 1" square sticker with a printed square and a diagonal line. My question: Can I discard those two items and the wallet will still have the security feature? Thanks.

    According to the national news this information is out of date. They have reports of new business card readers reading credit cards through bodies and through purses without the wallets being removed. This is happening in stores and doctors' offices.
