Here is information on the RFID tracking devices, sometimes they are used on passports and things of that nature. Radio-frequency identification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Actually, it is the same thing. Read further down on your article.
RFID's(or chips) used on animals are labeled "passive or inert" because they contain no internal power source and do not act until acted upon.They contain three components; a silicon integrated circuit board which is the memory that holds the owners info, and inductor which acts as the radio antenna, and a capacitor which works with the inudcutor to essentially form a tuner.
As for their safety, I will stick with my initial stand with Dr. Benezra.
But thanks for the info.
