If you have one of the newest US passports or one from a number of other countries that have upgraded their passports, your privacy may be at risk.  Hidden inside the passport is a tiny RFID chip, containing your private information. RFID chips are commonly hidden in store merchandize to catch shoplifters.  Now this technology is being used to make it more difficult to forge a passport.  But ironically, that security measure could put you at greater risk.  This passport case is a practical solution!
