BORED

    We always tell people that once we put the RFID in their neck, they'll never truly be off-grid. Not to us. Sometimes we get a guy who knows that a VERY powerful electromagnet applied VERY quickly to the chip will roast it without doing their brain permanent harm.
    That's why we put the thing on the underside of their spine.

Now I want an electromagnet stick.

I'll run around and thwack people on the neck.

"What the hell was that for‽"

"... practice. o.o"

I like that, 'cause I've never had an answer ready...

My brother lined his wallet in tin-foil... and wrapped his passport in the stuff as well.

Mmmm... paranoia...

(and yes, he even tested it)

I'm gonna look up how to ruin the RFID in Sara's new passport...

[sarahsam]

Err.... really want to spend the money on replacing that?

That's why my brother just foil-lined it. ;)

Do you have to buy a new one if the chip gets..."electromagnetaziezed?"

[froborr_dwiggy]

I... don't get it. You mean the chip goes inside the spinal column? Or on the front, so they can't reach it? It's probably something really obvious and I'm going to feel stupid that I missed it, but where does the "ouch" part come in?

[benchilada]

RFID chips and things tend to be implanted under the skin, yes?
Now if somebody were to put it on the UNDERSIDE (the part facing into the neck) of the spine...and an electromagnetic were placed OVER it...

Sara's new passport has one, and we're examining the best ways to disable it.
