Something cannot be passive and constantly broadcasting at the same time.
Broadcasting is an active process. RFID tags are not powered and are
passive and only respond when triggered by the RF signal of the scanner.
Currently range is limited and the scanners do not do well in discriminating
different devices when they are in close proximity to each other.
