Hmm, What type of gum wrappers were you using? I have a rather large pack of Wrigley's Winterfresh on my desk. It took 3 pieces to completely cover my ID card. After tapping the wrappers around my id card, I went and swiped my card. It beeped and I was allowed access. I was hoping this easy mod would work. I am tired of the security guy asking me out when I am late for work. I will have to stick to me previous plan of waiting until someone walks through the door and piggy-back after them.
Results of my informal testing (I am the only person at work today and really bored)
1.] Gum wrapper taped around ID Card - Did not work
2.] Anti-Static Bag from CDW - Did not work
3.] Altoid Box - Worked very well. The exact sixe of my ID card and other RFID cards.
