Is this for real?  Over the weekend, I was being a good little American citizen and watching State of the Union with Jake Tapper on CNN.  And I caught this weird commercial during the break that looked like something out of that Will Smith movie Enemy of the StateCard Lock claims that identity thieves are walking by us in crowds and using scanners to lift credit card and bank information out of our wallets and our purses.  Have you seen this?

Now, I know I can be a skeptic and I probably give way too many people the benefit of the doubt.  But this just seems a little far fetched to me.

Now, don't judge me when I tell you this, but I carry a murse.  LOL!  Yes.  I have a man bag.  And my man bag is about as messy as Jaclyn's big old pink purse that she lugs around Owensboro (it weighs more than her kid).  Now, I don't have 45 tubes of lip gloss in my murse like she does in her purse, but I have about four different sets of keys, about 50 ink pens, an Army surplus-sized bottle of Excedrin Migraine, ear buds, adapters, and all that bank and credit card information Card Lock is warning me about.  But I have never felt vulnerable to digital predators.  In fact, before Sunday's episode of Jake Tapper, I don't think I even knew they exist.

I mean, I guess, if this threat is real, Card Lock is a really good idea.  But I'm just not convinced I need to be outfitted with frequency-blocking polymers.  But, if I decide that my murse is vulnerable to cyber attacks, I suppose 4 Card Locks for $10 isn't a bad price.
