how do i debug rfid micro chips?

Question

RFID ( Radio Frequency Idendentification) How can I detect that I am hosting a plant. Also how do I debug myself or my belongings?

Answer 1

I've heard that if you wrap them in aluminum foil, they don't get detected. If you can find someplace that uses RFID tags for access, the access panels usually have a couple of lights. An RFID tag that works for that system will beep and open the door, but an invalid number will just beep and turn red. The beep should tell you that you that you have a an RFID device, but you almost have to hold it right up to the scanner. It won't get you in the door, but it will let you know you have one.

The are pretty big, and kinda look like the back side of a computer's CPU chip, if you have ever looked at one of those. They are pretty easy to find.

Actually, the latest generation of RFID chips are VERY SMALL:

You can use an electronic bug detector:

Then, you can either cut it out or zap it with a Taser:
