Do NFC implants set off store alarms?
Hi there. I was wondering if anybody had any personal experience with implants such as the ntag216 setting off shop anti-theft alarms? I've done a bit of research and can't seem to find any info on google, although I expect that the towers look for specific IDs and not just a random RFID enabled device passing through it.
What about airport sensors? I imagine magnets are more likely to set those off than RFID implants, but again it's pretty hard to find a definitive answer.

I have that same tag, and I need to virtually dig it into my phone to get it to read. While the sensor on the phone is probably not as strong as retail theft alarms, I seriously doubt it would pick it up. I also agree that it probably checks for a specific string embedded in the chip, otherwise /all/ rfid products would set it off including passports and cards. I also seriously doubt the strength of an implanted magnet would set off any magnetics-based store alarm unless you're walking right up close and next to the sensors. In which case, keeping maybe a paperclip or magnetic buckyball toy in your pocket to prove your Innocence might be handy to have on hand :)
