probably burn the skin.
I detect a note of -- arguably justifiable -- paranoia in the original post.
Instead of worrying about RFIDs in general, one should pay attention to
where they are actually used, and tale appropriate steps to protect oneself.
For example, RFIDs in debit cards can be read at some distance, so you might
decide not to have one at all, or to wrap the card in a fold of aluminum
foil when you're not using it.
In wheelybins it's justifiable to want rid of them. They cause the council to charge you fo your rubbish!I`ve been told that a blast from an electronic photographic flashgun

succeptable to sufficient power.

Physically hitting with a hammer might be effective as well.

Ours dont look like either of those, it`s just a flat disk.

Ah yes, the thin one.
Given that they have receiver coils, I dare say they could be

Silly me. Misreporting at fault there. So I suppose they had to enter the street address.
And you know this how ? ;~)
