Default I see the BBC reporters don't understand RFID tags.

Someone really should tell them that the normal RFID tags in use are
not powered by radio waves.


You do know what the RF in RFID stands for don't you?



Yes. you do know that communications and power are different?


And in the reader, its the RF output that provides both - even on the
low frequency near field devices where the RF is inductively coupled to
the tag.
