The thing is, RFIDs are not indestructible.  You have several choices in how 
to put them out of business.

1)  Nuke the little suckers for 5 seconds on high.  Of course, if they are 
in clothing one should be careful of possible fire danger.  I'd suggest wet 
clothing.

2)  Pierce the chip with a knife.

3)  If you can locate the chip and figure out which end is up, you can cut 
the antenna.

OR, the easiest and most effective without showing evidence that you've been 
naughty to, say for example, your passport,

4)  Smack the little sucker with a hammer!

Ah, I wouldn't, of course, recommend any of the above for chipped humans or 
animals <g>
