Interesting. I'd prefer something slightly more empirical than "hitting it with a hammer should work".

"In double-blind studies, 96% of respondents missed the chip when hitting it with a hammer.  Non-blind respondents fared somewhat better, at only 46% failure rate."

Try hitting it with Emperor George's hammer.

Yeah, like a device that can detect whether an RFID chip is functional.

What about spooky technology such as chipless RFID tags, like the tattoos somebody posted in another thread?  Hitting it with a hammer probably won't work in that case.

I don't want If it is injected in me. Be sure I will cut it out. Will hurt like hell but I would do it. I would feel so uncomfortable to have something in my body that is not suppose to be in my body that it would freak me out. For fucks sake, it isn't suppose to be there! I can not tolerate it!
