Embodiment Construction
[0053] Various embodiments of the present invention includes holders (e.g., containers) including radio frequency shielding materials to protect items, such as IDs (identification devices), incorporating RFID tags from being read. In some embodiments, a person can allow information within an RFID tag to be read by removing the item from the holder, while in other embodiments the holder is merely opened or removed to allow the RFID tag to be read. Replacing the item within the holder, or closing the holder, secures the item's RFID tag from unwanted readings from, or detection by, unknown or unauthorized RFID readers. It will be appreciated that items other than IDs, such as library books, consumer electronics, medications, and so forth, can also include, or be packaged with, RFID tags that a person may wish to shield from unauthorized RFID readers. Holders specifically tailored for such items, as well as general purpose holders such as wallets, purses and briefcases, can also include...
