Some of them are fairly obvious, like being quiet when you’re talking on a cell phone because people overhear you even if they’re not trying to eavesdrop, and telling someone a password over your phone is just begging for trouble. Then again, sometimes the things that are obvious are the ones we miss most easily - how many times have you heard more than you ever wanted to know as someone chatted loudly into their cell? [...] [...] Vagabondish has an excellent list of the top ten ways to secure your data while you travel.

One more thought for documents you may need access to while traveling. If you have a common access email account (yahoo, gmail, etc.) send yourself an email with the documents as attachments. You can then easily access them from anywhere in the world using your own or a public computer. Obviously, take all necessary security precautions when using the computer. Great article.

Some tags are continuously powered (i.e. active tags), but they still only transmit in the presence of a reader. Still, though, it's a good idea to keep RFID passports blocked off from the outside world. Thanks for the advice, Mike!
