US Department of Defense deploys RFID shields to its personnel

US Department of Defense deploys RFID shields to its personnel.

This is an extraordinary article that would appear to suggest that the US military takes the business of ‘skimming’ very seriously, not least in respect of its RFID enabled ID passes; issued to all personnel.  You cannot help but ask the question, “…if contactless technology is 100% bulletproof against unauthorised attack – then why are the US Department of Defense introducing shielding sleeves?”  Go figure!
