I’m get­ting tired of hear­ing about them. Yes, they suck. How­ever, it’s triv­ial, from what I under­stand, to defeat people who want to scan them with­out your per­mis­sion. Just carry the damned thing around in a wallet woven with copper wires, or a solid case made out of some some con­duc­tive metal. You’d think that after two hun­dred and sev­enty years, more people would have heard of Fara­day cages. That said, we shouldn’t have to bother, but if the gov­ern­ment is going to go on about their idiot quest to make us less safe through ill-​​considered tech­no­log­i­cal ini­tia­tives and point­less wars of agres­sion, then we should do more than just wring our hands and make our­selves mar­tyrs to other people’s idiocy. I mean, sure, most people won’t figure out about it and might just get taken advan­tage of because they’re easily iden­ti­fi­able. Me? I’m gonna hang around in foriegn air­ports with a bag of the afore­men­tioned cases and wal­lets and a scan­ner. Sell them to tourists on their way out into the big bad world along with pam­phlets about how to pass your­self off as a native of Toronto.
