Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Travelon Blocking Passport Black: Ultimate Size for Secure Travel by Lindsey Lewis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ideal for your passport; Metal detector goes off

I like this RFID blocking sleeve for my passport because Americans don't have a choice when getting a passport with an RFID chip. I've read how to stop the transmission of RFID chips but apparently it's illegal and will invalidate your passport. So my solution was to get myself a case that blocks RFID waves so my information can't be accessed by strangers with amazingly simple gear when I'm out. I travel with my passport instead of a driver's license, even when traveling domestically. in my country (USA). For some reason they take me aside for a "special check" and write "ssss" on my boarding pass when I check in with my driver's license. I noticed that this doesn't happen when I present my US passport. However, this suitcase works with a metal detector, so I leave it in my luggage when going through security because something in the suitcase's design works with metal detectors. When I tried to fly over the Thanksgiving holiday, one of the TSA dummies at the checkpoint told me I could get him through the metal detector. Unfortunately, this set off the metal detector and the other TSA agents didn't realize it was the pass box. They thought I had something that would work with the detector. Next time I'll leave this suitcase in my luggage.

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
Cons
  • I have doubts
