How does it go - "when ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise". Until I read the topic heading on your post it had never entered my head that there might be a problem and I've been happily chucking everything and anything into my magnetic tank bags - credit / debit cards, iPhone, camera storage cards, anything that'll fit really. To date I've not had a single issue - with the magnetic side of things anyway. Plenty of problems with the bags but that's a different world.
Maybe I've been lucky and others will report wiped passport chips and bank cards catching fire or something from the magnetic flux but my experience has been benign. I'll probably think about it in the future though.
