IIRC this is one of the reasons the credit card companies went to the three number security code, though folks have been arguing the pros and cons of RFID chips for decades. A tin foil like sheath isn't a bad idea. RFID technology is good on a dog collar if Fido goes missing, but also like most new technology is vulnerable for nefarious uses.
There was talk a few years back of embedding large denomination Euro bills with RFID chips to stifle counterfeiting, however someone pointed out, it would make it very convenient for muggers with a sensor to know who was worth robbing. Then there are some people who just don't want a chip retailers, marketers, or the government can track.
