They showed the RFID symbol near the end of the video
It's like a bunch of )))) - but they go from smaller to larger.
Either wear a tinfoil hat or get an RFID blocking wallet and/or passport case. I got mine at ThinkGeek (and I get my bulk aluminum foil at Sams or Costco
). :mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set! -

I spent a substantial amount of my time in College working on these hacks. Later presented my full paper and project data to the Dean, Academic Chairs, and many of the faculty members. Thought it was important enough for them to know since, well, it was their cards I was reading (Both Personal and Security.) In fact, during the presentation, we copied all of the security cards that were within the antennas range, and displayed them at the end. Of course, we removed any financial numbers, but still.
RFID is a pretty scary piece technology. Actually, let me rephrase that. RFID technology is scary when in the hands of institutions, like banks, that pretty much force it upon you, while taking no real precautions in protecting you, nor telling you exactly whats on the chip.
