I've always used my old film protection bags, (Silver, lead lined bags/envelopes with other mixtures in various 'A' sizes) which use to be made to protect your films from damage through scanners and X-ray machines etc at airports.
I was messing around with one of these, as I still use them to keep my SD cards in (well you never know) and put my car fob in the bag to keep all together, and couldn't get into my car whilst standing next to it. I then started trying this after a report of what can happen to these fobs some time back, before fully released, and now always keep mine in these envelopes in office, at home, in bed or generally anywhere except when driving, , more so in hotels and especially in places like Premier Inn UK car parks. If fob left in bag, even inside car with you, the car won't start.
I'm not sure if they are still available generally, but they are still available from Professional Photographic suppliers, slightly redesigned now due to different strengths and degrees of measurements of X-Ray's at airports now, but they were reasonably cheap, made with a mixture of lead and some other <<stuff>> in the lining. Certainly protected our films on jobs or working q abroad, many Pro Photographers use to have and use them, many still do, as film isn't completely dead, and digital cards can get erased at airports with strong fields etc. John
