A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag security device that
selectively enables the readability of a RFID tag in a passport or book.
The device has an RFID tag on one page and at least one layer of
conductive material on a different page such that the tag and conductor
are in parallel planes when the book or passport is closed and separated
when it is open. Multiple conductors may be used on covers or pages
surrounding the tag such that the tag is sandwiched between conductive
materials when the book or passport is closed and loose when the book or
passport is open. Optionally, the tag can be coupled to one of the
conductive layers with a spacer placed between the tag and conductor. A
two-part RFID tag assembly is also disclosed to have strong adhesives on
both sides and weak bonds to detachably couple the two parts together.
