Not quite the same thing. Fire extinguishers have a very real life function and do helmets. When my CC company sends me a RFID sleeve to keep my card in I will accept it is a real issue. Until then, it is just a tin foil hat product. Like a copper bracelets, crystals or sleeping under a pyramid and whole body detox for a liver cleanse of unnamed "toxins".
The CC companies are the ones that are going to take the financial hit if crooks can steal your CC info with a scanner.
I have had my CC info stolen before, and the CC company shut down the account, and sent me a new card. It is a royal pain to contact all the companies that automatically charge my CC, but not painful. It is not a Identity theft issue, the CC does not have my bank passwords and SSI number.
