yes or no to protection for your RFID credit cards?!

although, it’s said that there is no need for protection, and scanning of RFID cards also requires both close proximity and special equipment like external RFID scanners. I’d think it’s up to individuals whether to shield their credit cards in their wallets cos’ there is still a probability that the card details can be stolen in this way.
