Security Gadget Gift Idea: The Biometric Wallet

By Jennifer Houser | December 14, 2009 | Comments (1) | Post a comment

Are you still searching for that one unique Christmas present that is sure to impress your security industry colleague, or perhaps even a family member or friend? I recently ran across a little gadget known as the iWallet that should appeal to the security-minded. Not only is the iWallet a neat stocking stuffer, but it actively works to protect your credit cards and cash from thieves.

The product secures your cash and credit cards in a tamper-resistant hard case made of carbon fiber. Attached to the case is a biometric fingerprint reader to ensure only the owner’s fingers will be flipping through the bills. The iWallet can also be linked to a cell phone through Bluetooth and will alert the phone when the wallet is more than 15 to 30 feet away — perfect for those forgetful few who leave their wallet at a store, or those looking for extra protection against pickpockets.

As others have pointed out, if I were to steal this wallet, I'd either be too-far-gone by the time it notified via bluetooth, or I'd have the foresight to throw it in something that would block the signal.Then I can slice/saw/smash it apart at my leisure.The locking features would serve as good tamper-evident protection, but I'm not likely going to give it back to the person I stole it from, so it doesn't really matter.
