Frequently Asked Questions

Can a magnet destroy an RFID chip?

FAQ English — FoeBuD e.V.
No. The chip information is not stored magnetically. Use of a magnet or other erasing devices has no effect whatsoever on the chip. In December 2003 we tried the professional hard-disk eraser "Degauser" from IBAS: The chip remained functional without any disturbance.

Will a magnet erase an RFID chip?

What do I do if I find an RFID chip? Can I de-activate or destroy it?

FAQ English — FoeBuD e.V.
You can render an RFID chip useless by breaking the connection of the chip to its antenna. It is normally pretty obvious where the chip sits: All antennas run towards it. If you have found the tiny dark square you can try and scratch through the conducting parts of the antenna. You could cut into the "Schokoticket" of the VRR, for example, for about half an inch so that the antenna in it will be destroyed and your child's data can no longer be read out.

How can I tell if there's an RFID chip in my ____?

spychips.com - FAQ
Since no law requires manufacturers to tell you when they've put an RFID chip into a product or its packaging, the only way for an average consumer to know if a product contains a chip is to see it with his or her own eyes. (Or you can invest in an electronics lab and costly RFID readers.) The good news is that most RFID devices in commercial use today have a fairly conspicuous antenna, ranging from the size of a fingernail to the size of a full-sized sheet of paper.

What do I do if I find an RFID chip? Can I kill or disable it?

spychips.com - FAQ
You can disable a chip for all practical purposes by disconnecting it from its antenna. It is usually pretty obvious where the chip is located in an RFID tag (all the antennas will run to it). Once you find the tiny black square you can use a pair of scissors or a knife to cut it off. To ensure that the tiny chip cannot later be read (assuming anyone could even find a device so small), you can puncture it with a straight pin, crush it, or pulverize it. See similar questions...

Can I put products in a micro-wave oven to destroy hidden RFID tags?

FAQ English — FoeBuD e.V.
RFID tag can really be destroyed by microwaves. A handful of milliseconds with low energy are enough to make the chip blow up in an impressive blue flame. But it is very probable that not only the chip will burst into flames but also everything else near it. The packaging or the product itself are just as easily destroyed, and also the microwave oven will be polluted with metal or plastic vapours afterwards. See similar questions...

What is RFID?

Dillard's.com | Frequently Asked Questions
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a method of using radio waves to communicate information about products. RFID systems can collect data about a product quickly, with reduced human error. An RFID/EPC (Electronic Product Code) tag consists of an antenna connected to a microchip that contains information about the product and can be placed on a product. This tag can then transmit its product information (EPC) back to a reader. See similar questions...
