To protect your card from being stolen by a walker machine at Paducah or any where else; make your self a card carrier of any type BUT USE batting that is used for potholders or ironing board covers. This seems to have enough metal to distort the capture. If you don't have time to make anything, just put a layer of foil inside your wallet around the cards. I hope this helps.

What's a walker machine?

i am confused....

This apparatus would have to lay on your card for an extended period of time to pick up your info. There was a post sometime last fall on this.

theives have a machine they can pick up your card info off the strip just by walking by you. the machine can be aquired for about 8 bucks!

WRONG!

"By getting within two or three feet of a purse or wallet, thieves can use a credit card reading device to steal personal bank information. It’s a device that any thief can buy on the Internet."

A piece of tinfoil in your wallet will accomplish the same thing, quicker.

I stand corrected. Although this technology will only work that fast on the pay and wave cards. They are still realtively new but if you have them than beware.

Hey you, sit back down. DOn't stand corrected. YOu were both right. Just saying. ♥♥

Good idea but I hate the feel of Foil. Never thought of that while in the casinos. Been lucky. LOL
