Could I theoretically make my home immune to guns by surrounding it with kevlar-coated MRIs
I hope you and anyone in your immediate vicinity don't value your payment cards or electronic devices.
Payment cards haven't used the magnetic stripe for ages. At least in Europe. Then again, in Europe I never felt the need of making my home gun proof...
Do they not have the stripe as a fall back? We use chips here too, but I periodically still have to use the stripe when a chip reader fails repeatedly.
I haven't used one in about 10 years. It used to be chip, now it's all contactless.
Yeah, it is chip for the most part and some contactless (and some shit holes only do contactless through their phone app), but crappy chip equipment and card issues means I have to use the stripe about every quarter or so.
Who needs credit cards when I'm rich enough to build an above-ground bulletproof bunker powered by supercooled 5-tesla magnets
If you can afford the machines and the associated power usage, yes. Though the magnets inside are what you really want and would be easier to set in place than the whole machine.
