So you simply get near the frequency with a hi power RF emitter, and poof, no chip... Junction devices cannot stand overload without internally self destructing.
This is the reason Soviet bloc aircraft use old technology for the front end of radio receivers, or anything else that might be exposed to high power emissions, Such as the EMP from a nuclear detonation.

All this micro chip technology is wunnerful, just don't
go near a high power RF transmitting device, or X-ray
it.... Has same effect of putting your wet cell phone in the
microwave to dry it off, POOF and you will smell
burned electronics.... If your worried about any item
you buy having a trace device, and its not metal, just
stick it in the microwave, and bye bye device....

Thank's for the info. I read the first comment and am impressed. That also takes the "threat" out of being implanted until they figure a way to protect the device from being shorted out. At our age, my husband and I might find it a good idea for health reasons.

very interesting....
