electronics so small, and finely detailed are notoriously EMF sensitive. a good
sized carrier spike (like AM interference from lightning) would most likely
seriously hurt the reciever, and probably any amplifiers or power sinks
associated with the RF activated electronics.

"Hitachi has just come out with a new crop of RFID tags, measuring only 1/20
of a millimeter square. That's 1/8 the size (in linear dimension) of Hitachi's
currently shipping mu-chips, which are 0.4 mm square. The new chip's width is
slightly smaller than a human hair. These chips could put an end to shoplifting
forever, but they could also be used by a governments or other entities to
'dust' crowds or areas, easily tagging anyone present without their knowledge
or consent. Will someone come up with a surefire way of neutralizing chips that
may be on your body or in your clothing?" Hard to pin down a source on this.
The article cites another blog, which points to an article in Japanese.
