A Faraday pouch (sometimes called a Faraday bag) is a small, signal‑blocking pouch designed to store keyless car fobs.

A Faraday pouch is lined with special material that blocks radio signals, preventing thieves from accessing or copying your car key’s signal while it’s inside the pouch
A simple faraday pouch will when closed properly will shield the key and prevent the RFID signal from leaving the pouch rendering the theft attempt useless
