3. Sounds like RFIDs are in them

that is OK as long as you know it. But I think they are trying to hide it.

4. Sounds like it's time to...

get those magnets out. And just for good measure, wrap the damn thing in heavy duty aluminum foil before putting in your wallet.

Mine doesn't expire until 2010, but I'm willing to bet that they mail me a new "securified" one anyway.

7. But think about

WallyMart...

You go into WallyMart and pick up groceries and other goods. You check out and go to pay with your debit card. You (male) go into your back pocket and pull out your wallet which also has your Florida DL. You pick out your Debit card and swipe it. And while you are doing this, your friendly WallyMart credit card machine is reading your RFID from you wallet which is next to the machine as you get out your debit card.

Now WallyMart not only has your debit card info but any other info like your home address from your DL.....
