It's called a magnetic strip for a reason, and usually checkouts that use anti-theft devices will have a sign that says keep magnetic strips away from a certain area (the cashier usually rubs the item over the area to disable the device). You can do the same thing. Use a strong magnet, and rub it several times over the strip.

Would it be good to visit a planet with a magnetic field?

We are already on a planet with a magnetic field and yes magnetic fields are what protect the planet from various dangers. Not to mention nearly every planet we have seen has a magnetic field (save venus). It is believed that the magnetic fields of planets save them from solar winds which would otherwise slowly strip the atmospheres of planets by taking out chunks of atoms every time they hit. Mars has an extremely weak (or none according to many scientists) magnetic field and as such the solar winds bash into it and scoop out ions from the planet. Overall conclusion: Yes, you want to visit a planet with a strong magnetic field, it's basically more protection (in theory at least).
