... or just order one at DIFRwear. They also have transparent sleeves, so you can show your ID without allowing it to be scanned

I was at DefCon17. While MM might have done the right thing, there were plenty of other RFID readers around there that were not as well marked. I bought a DIFRWear passport wallet... http://www.difrwear.com/

And it's not hard to find cheaper US sources, too, unless you have your heart set on stainless steel: here, here, here, etc

There are already several of these available for wallets and passports, if you don't just want to build your own.

Even if someone miraculously manages to read a chip through the Faraday shield AND get the tech developed to the point where it can be used for surveillance, passports are only good for 5 or 10 years - so their tech could be updated making surveillance again impossible.

If you don't "trust" the government (and why should you?), you can always buy one of these Faraday cage wallets or just do what most Americans do and not carry your passport - if you even have one.

Of course, if someone has figured out how to read a signal through the Faraday cage on the passport, then the wallet is probably also compromised. But I'd put that in the same category as worrying that the government will read your thoughts, since it is about as feasible at the moment.

I think a faraday cage would meet your needs. And there are already websites selling faraday cage product - here's one example for wallets - http://www.difrwear.com/products.shtml

You can purchase a nice RFID blocking wallet from a number of places (I got mine from here ), or alternatively make your own

Forget the unsightly duct tape or foil wallets and liners. Check out this stylish "faraday caged apparel".

You can always get one of these or just wrap your passport in tinfoil.
