Is this because of the design of RFID chips, or is it possible to make one that doesn't?
What would stop them from putting a chip in you that wasn't dependent like that?

The chips I am aware of have no power source of their own - they're capacitively(*) coupled and obtain power generated in a field by the receiver.

What would stop "them" from putting in a chip that didn't depend on being powered by an external field? It'd have to have it's own power source, and you wouldn't want something like that embedded in you. :p

ETA: The passive chips used today aren't technically capacitively or inductively coupled, but still depend on the receiver as a power source.
