Re: RFID protection for new cards?????? Question

The state.gov (federal) website says a passport cannot be scanned if it's book cover is closed. The chip is located inside the back cover. I don't know what info exactly is stored on the chip, but again it cannot be scanned  as long as it is closed. You don't need to wrap it in foil.
