Wouldn’t the body reject them, and/or get infected around the implant area?

    I’ve had a toll pass device for 10 years. It gets scanned at 80mph or more and hasn’t needed a new battery yet. The newest models are the size of a credit card.

      Yeah but radio doesn’t like meat shields being in the way. The frequencies normally used in RFID only penetrate a few cm into people.

      I guess we could always advocate for RFID tattoos if we really wanted to get this going.

        They’re also probably broadcasting at powers not safe for humans to constantly be around, only for the 1/10th of a second you pass under.

          Yeah, it goes through just about any material. I used to keep one under my seat on my motorcycle. So it would scan through me, the rubber/foam/whatever seat and into the metal box under my ass. That was 10+ years ago in the Orlando area, I can’t imagine they have gotten less accurate
