This isn't news,

So why email all their [registered] Oyster users?


Because up until now, for the past 12 months if not longer, this
information has only appeared in various newspaper articles and
on web forums. Unfortunately the fact that the said articles
and forums are often accompanied by reader recommendations
to use cooking foil barriers (useless apparently) and similar
nonsense often casts doubt on the original information.

Now however, its official.

I wonder if an anti'static bag would shield the card?


Isn't anti-static caused by friction ?

A better bet might be a full height faraday cage made out
old metal coathangers with an armole through which to
poke the oyster card.

This might also get you more room to yourself on the train.

Maybe an idea for "Dragon's Den" ?
