Stop people tracking you with RFIDs in your clothing by wearing a suit or coat that is a faraday cage. It could be lightweight copper mesh with normal suit type material on the outside and insulated on the inside. If the coat/suit covered enough of your body the RFIDs could not be interrogated as the signal would be blocked by the copper mesh.
Might also prevent nosey parkers from scrutinising every inch of your anatomy with their millimetre wave cameras which can see through clothing. It might also render a stun gun useless but I would'nt like to put this theory to the test.

Faraday needs a ground. This needs wires in the shoes and/or trailing coattails. This would make you into a lightning rod. (therefore, no Faraday Golf Suit)
Do you really have a problem with people tracking you through RFID tags in your clothes? I suggest that you remove the RFID tags.
Dont know if it is a problem and 'big brother' can't get his software projects to work anyway despite spending billions on them (they never include enough in the budget for proper testing).If he has to read millions of rfid signals his systems will fall over. How would you find them to remove from your clothes? I have heard that they are very small and you might have to purchase an rfid reader to find em.....
If implemented correctly this idea would work. A faraday cage is simply a hollow conductor. Like charges repel each other, thus the charges will move to the surface of the conductor. So a faraday cage DOES NOT REQUIRE A GROUND, if it did need a ground planes would crash much more often, and people would be killed in their cars by lightning. The tires on a car would need to be 2 miles thick to protect the ocupents from lightning. Also you wouldn't need to use a mesh, you could use aluminum foil. Another example is shoplifters have found that putting the object they are stealing in a ball of aluminum foil will keep the alarm from going off, crafty eh?
Thanks for you enlightened commentry morecowbell. I figured that this idea would work because the radio pulse that interrogates the RFIDs would'nt get through the faraday cage in the oversuit and if the RFID has its own power supply it's transmissions could'nt get out through the suit. Could be a market for this type of product.
