[Lab] Removing chip from presto card

[Tai]

Shamelessly stealing an idea I read about elsewhere where someone put the
chip from their transit pass into a wand and tapped that on the bus.

I'd love to know how to extract the Mifare 2 RFID (I think that's what
they're on) chip and antenna from the card and repackage it in a fun way.

Unfortunately, having shone a light through the card, it looks like the
antenna runs around the circumference. I don't know much about the
underlying science of RFIDs and I'm not sure if it would just be a matter
of extracting some chip and attaching a new, equivalent antenna (or
extracting and reshaping the existing one).

Any ideas here?

Thanks,
~Tai
