Code Geass Themed Duct Tape Wallet & RFID Chip Blocker

I'm a fan of Code Geass and I like to make custom wallets using duct tape, so combine the two and you get this wallet.

I made the red designs by cutting the shapes out with an X-acto knife on black strips of duct tape, and placed the strips of duct tape with the shapes cut out of them over strips of red duct tape.
In the future I may post an instructable on how I made these designs when I have the time so that you may see it done step-by-step, and of course, if you really want me to (you need only ask).

I also made it able to cancel out RFIDs by placing pieces of tin foil between the strips of duct tape, so it should be RFID proof. (if you don't know what RFIDs are then search it on wikipedia or something)

That's all. Enjoy the slideshow, and thanks for viewing my Instructable!! I hope this has inspired you to make wallets that are not only cheap and practical, but also look awesome as well! (function over form? bah! Who says you can't have both?)

any passport issued in the last few years will have RFID, or at least when they passed the REALID Act, that was their intention. I haven't kept up with whether of not they were able to follow through, but it is my understanding that there are RFID in modern U.S. passports. does the tinfoil really stop card readers and RFID though? it seems too simple, but that probably means it's true.. and has anyone tried to go through an airport with a tinfoil laced wallet? just curious what that experience was like..

What RFIDs do you carry in your wallet?

Passports are the only thing I can think of that would have a radiotag in your wallet. Of course I don't think most passports have RFIDs and I don't know anyone who carries theirs in a wallet either!

I know that some credit cards use RFIDs so with the right equipment, someone could steal your credit information without ever reaching into your pocket! I don't currently own any credit cards with RFIDs, but it's always nice to have it if I ever get any credit cards that use them.
