Can you 'break' MagicBand?

My company works with a lot of RFID technology. Have you ever checked out a library book and just had to scan it and your library card and then you were through? All via RFID technology. We have library books all over the world with RFID chips in them and my husband's company is now putting them into hospital sheets and blankets which get laundered many times daily.

Nothing to worry about.

I believe that's all passive RFID, and the MBs seem to be active RFID with a power source contained in them. I would also suspect the power source is the weakest link in the MB.

I have a friend who has disassembled a MB just to see what it contained. Think exact-o-knife rather than chain saw.

Chain saw image is more amusing.
