For all you Speedpass users out there... PANIC! No, don't panic actually..

Excerpt: "Faraday shielding offers a short-term, partial remedy. In particular, users may encase their DSTs in aluminum foil or some suitable radio-reflective shielding when not using them. This would defend against active scanning attacks, but not against passive eavesdropping."

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? I can't tell, this foil is suffocating. Cheers, -Pk

Analysis of the Texas Instruments DST RFID (e.g. Speedpass)

Excerpt: "And according to some experts, nobody does it better than NessCap, which offers a unit rated at an impressive 5000 farads at 2.7 volts in a package a little bigger than a half-liter soda bottle."

Bloody sin! I'm drubbing my lips in silliness. That's bizarre. 5-friggin'-THOUSAND farad?! I must be getting old. -Pk
