My understanding is that yes, wrapping an RFID enabled device in foil prevents it from being scanned.


I have used that method for years on potatoes, and have never had one illicitly scanned. I did find a few mashed however.

The outside of that one is similar to mine. Is the compartment an additional section stitched to the back?

For U.S. bills, I fold it in thirds lengthwise.

Mine is a tan basket-weave. There is an 18" zipper on the inside center (lengthwise). To store US bills you fold them lengthwise in thirds. This a limited space and is not for storage of lots of cash, just enough for an emergency.

Thanks for the laugh! I guess I'll have to think twice about wrapping my head in tin foil to prevent scanning. I wouldn't want my brain to be mashed… Oh, wait, it's too late!

That's a really good idea. I am sure we have all heard of potato chips...

Looking for a slightly wider money belt; most are just a touch too thin in the secret compartment. (the kind you use to hold up your pants)

Link? I tried Googling this and couldn't find it.

brandtb, I bought mine from Shomer-Tec. Go to the site and enter, Escape/ travel Belt, in the search box. That brings it up. I confirmed this, just before writing this reply.
