The present invention is directed to a system for reading at least one object having a programmable RFID device embedded therein. The object is disposed in a predetermined reading region. The system includes a reader loop disposed in the predetermined reading region. The reader loop is configured to transmit a reader interrogation signal to the at least one object disposed in the predetermined reading region and receive an RFID signal from the at least one object in response to the reader interrogation signal. A jamming device is disposed proximate the reader loop. The jamming device is configured to generate a jamming signal that prevents an external reader device disposed outside the predetermined reading region from interrogating the at least one object disposed in the predetermined reading area.
