TfL seemed to have cottoned to what people are doing with these cards. I peeled apart an Oyster card last night to find that the ariel is no longer compose of a loop of wire, but consists of some kind of printed circuit embedded in the fabric of the card itself. You can still remove the chip but it's surely no good without an ariel is it?

I took one apart today (19th of January 2009) and it was as shown with the chip and an aerial. It does look like its embedded but you just need to soak it longer.

@ Bramleyhousemedia : That is getting the standard. Cards are much cheaper to produce that way.

oh yeah, the ones they embed in your hand track your every movement, what you buy, your health status. everything. you should watch zeitgeist.
