That's exactly what the FBI did in the film " Catch Me If You Can ", which is based upon a true story.

 

[Alarm]

Multiple cards with RFID will confuse the scanner.
Or as another said tin foil the wallet (For men or strange women ) this will stop a casual scan.

 

[Blasphemous]

Multiple cards with RFID will confuse the scanner.

Walt August (the credit card security guy in the video), stated:

We have done testing in house that shows multiple cards will not prevent electronic pickpocketing. The cards employ anticollision technology that allows the rader to select one for reading. Much like a wireless network does.

 

[Alarm]

Drop 3 RFID cards into a wallet and try and use them to access a door and see what happens.
Three Oyster cards in a wallet @ a train station or a bus.
See what happens.

Same Technology whatever the use.
