<p><font size="2">(Do I need to tell you the rest of that famous funny line?)<br /><br />Anyway, I digress.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">With new <strong>wireless credit cards</strong> gaining momentum (<strong>SpeedPass</strong>&nbsp;anyone?), security has once again become a major&nbsp;issue (as in&nbsp;taking and using someone else's credit card information&nbsp;without&nbsp;them knowing it).&nbsp;<img alt="" src="http://blog.tmcnet.com/mtstatic/FCKeditor/emoticons/angry_smile.gif" /></font></p>
<p><font size="2">This is now an even greater issue with these new&nbsp;cards being waved in front of the reader with&nbsp;data&nbsp;sent wirelessly from card to pay terminal, rather than the &quot;swipe&quot; that we've all know (and love?).</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Well,a California-based company, <strong>Kena Kai</strong>, has come up with&nbsp;a solution -- a stylish new line of&nbsp;<strong>DataSafe Wall</strong>ets for men and women, specifically&nbsp;designed to protect these new smart card credit cards from <strong>wireless identity theft</strong>.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">The DataSafe&nbsp;wallets incorporate <strong>radio-frequency (RF) shielding material</strong> to protect the data on the growing number of credit cards that feature the new <strong>&quot;Contactless Smart Card Technology.&quot;</strong>&nbsp;</font><font size="2">The wallets are designed to complement the inherent security and encryption of the newer generation of these cards.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">By incorporating&nbsp;shielding material into the wallet, Kena Kai provides a high-tech solution in a form factor that people understand. The wallet design is based off the <strong>Faraday Cage principle</strong> which is designed to stop the entry or escape of an electromagnetic (EM) field. </font></p>
<p><font size="2">The new DataSafe Wallet line will include bi-folds, tri-folds, credit card wallets, women&rsquo;s wallets and passport holders in full-grain Italian leather. Nice ... <img alt="" src="http://blog.tmcnet.com/mtstatic/FCKeditor/emoticons/regular_smile.gif" /></font></p>
<p><font size="2">MSRP:&nbsp;$40-$120</font></p>

        <![CDATA[<p>I really like the styling of this wallet! It is a very good representation of what we're planning on adding to our "Armadillo Dollar" line.<br />
If you ever want to do an article on the particulars of this theft ("The Johnny Carson Attack") then just shoot me a message. I'll share with you wahtever resources I have available-which is quite substantial.<br />
Keep telling people about the threat! One by one, they remove themselves from the field of targets...<br />
