I had the same feeling - plus the broadband there was terrible. I would never live in a suburb even if I was paid to. The middle of nowhere though, would be even worse than a suburb as it's the same problems but more so and without the

Not the first time it's been done. Of course, it's only worked some of the time it's been done, I guess.

Same as the "internet of things" - they are with security where Microsoft was in the 1990s. Security by obscurity is their watchword. Always remember: "Internet Of Things is also called IOT, because you'd have to be an I

You could get an RFID-blocking wallet (should anyway, really) and put the key in that. I have one from http://difrwear.com/; I've tested it and it's never leaked any signal from cards inside; should work fine with
