And we are supposed to trust the gov, why again??????
They also showed some one on the news that was able to read the implants as well, he had his own reading he bought online.
But it's not the little guy I am worried about.

This is all very known but scary stuff, pretty soon the only way to be safe is to wear a faraday bubble. I was going to tin foil my wallet a while ago due to reports of this but gave up halfway through because it was very diffcult to completly seal the wallet. Instead, as I have coats with a particular pocket that my wallet always goes into, I simply bought fine wire mesh off the bay and sowed it around the pocket. Tested with my mobile phone and no signal..

They're called Electronic Pickpockets and for good reason.

The controllers have begun imprinting a specific electronic symbol on certain credit cards that allow you to purchase easier (choke). People really do fall for this stuff!

The short video below explains it and also shows the symbol at the end. Of course I immediately grabbed my cards to check, but the state in which I live has banned the RFID...hopefully forever. :rant:



Uh oh. RFID hustlers stealing credit card numbers!

Hey, thanks for bringing this to my attention! I just wrapped my credit card and debit card in foil and put back in my wallet. I mostly use cash so it won't be an inconvenience.
