into the entry chamber 140 a the entry trap door 130 a can immediately close and let the rfid tag 110 be enclosed completely to preserve an rf opaque environment next the rfid tag 110 can continue through and hit the decommissioning trap door 130 b which allows the rfid tag to exit the entry chamber 140 a and enter the decommissioning chamber 140 b the decommissioning chamber 140 b can house one or more compatible rfid readers receivers the entry into the decommissioning chamber 140 b can be controlled by the decommissioning trap door 130 b and the exit out can be controlled by the exit trap door 130 c which can open out into the exit chamber 140 c when the rfid tag 110 enters into the decommissioning chamber 140 b the decommissioning trap door 130 b immediately closes while in the decommissioning chamber 140 b the rfid tag 110 is then scanned or read by either a passive reader antenna 150 or an active tag receiver 150 depending on whether the rfid tag is a passive or active rfid tag 110 the reader receiver 150 can be enabled to have program code that decommissions the rfid tag 110 the rfid tag 110 record is then located wirelessly in a database repository that houses rfid tag records and associated link data that associates a particular rfid tag with a particular object article once the rfid record is located the link data associating the rfid tag with a particular object article is destroyed so that the rfid tag is no longer associated or linked with that particular object anymore in one aspect of the embodiment the rfid record can be.
