The chip is not for tracking. The chip is a simple strip of metal tuned to resonate at a certain frequency, communicating like, less than a kilobyte of information. Chances are that scruffy's tag is a simple alphanumeric less than 20 digits long, which functions similarly to the VIN tag on a car.
As an IT guy, this makes me roll my eyes super hard. If I owned property, had won the lottery and I weren't simply bouncing all over the country, I would probably consider implanting an RFID strip on my wrist to open my doors and whatnot.
And I am possibly the most hardcore conspiracy theorist you have ever met, I was there Jan 6th, I am aware of ET activity on earth.
But tracking in any meaningful way because of RFID is just hilariously dumb.
The ONLY place to worry about someone skimming your RFID data(aside from card skimmers installed over real readers, commonly at gas stations) is in a crowded mall or airport, because there exists a certain platform that fits into a briefcase that can skim every credit card within 20 feet or so. In this case an RFID wallet or other Faraday cage implementation is needed. So, if I got my RFID wrist chip one day, at most I would need a Faraday cage bracelet a la Copperwear to protect me from spying at the mall or airport.
TL:DR; Don't be scared of those stupid gimmicky RFID chips, they're essentially tiny pieces of metal that've been tricked into storing a tiny bit of data that can only be read within a few feet.
