A pair of jeans containing material that blocks wireless signals is being developed in conjunction with anti-virus firm Norton.

反病毒公司诺顿正在与厂商联合研发一款由能屏蔽无线信号的材料制成的牛仔裤。
 
The trousers are intended to stop thieves hacking into radio frequency identification (RFID) tagged passports or contactless payment cards.
 
According to security experts this type of theft is a growing problem.
 
The jeans are designed by online clothing company Betabrand and use a silver-based material to block signals.
 
They are due to go on sale in February.
 
Security software maker Norton teamed up with San Francisco-based Betabrand in October to make the jeans and a blazer. The jeans will retail at $151 and the blazer at $198.
