PROTECT YOUR PASSPORTS WITH RFID SHIELDS

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) - is a technology that uses communication through the use of radio waves to transfer data between a reader and an electronic tag attached to an object, for the purpose of identification and tracking.

In early 2006, the U.S. Department of State began issuing passports with 64-kilobyte RFID chips that contain the name, nationality, gender, date of birth, and place of birth of the passport holder, as well as a digitized photograph of that person. The U.S. Government states that they use encrypted digital signatures to prevent tampering and that they will be "passive" RFID chips, which do not broadcast personal information unless within inches of an RFID reader machine.

The U.S. government is making every effort to secure its citizens' personal data; however, many travelers have decided to take matters into their own hands by purchasing RFID protection shields for passports as well as other items which contain the RFID chips such as credit cards.

These products are available at many luggage/travel accessory stores. I have had great feedback from several listeners who have visited:

Traveling Bags - Luggage Sales, Luggage Repair, Travel Accessories and Gifts

3314 W Loomis Rd Milwaukee, WI 53221 - (414) 817-0222

You can also purchase RFID Blocking Products on line (these are just a couple that I have contacted and was please with their reponses):

International Cell Phone

I mentioned on air that I recently purchased an international cell phone through Mobal. I used it on my WTMJ Mediterranean Cruise and it worked very well. I selected the GSM World Phone Classic ($69.00 + $10 shipping) which works in over 190 countries including the USA. Rates varied from $1.25 to $1.75 per minute depending on the country. Included with the phone (which is yours for life) is a multi voltage travel charger with a FREE worldwide travel adapter set and a world SIM card (you will have a UK phone number). Jim Peck also purchased this phone and used it while traveling in France. Tune in on May 28 when Jim returns to find out what his experience was with his new Mobal international phone.
