Try the Search Engines for Anti-Theft Tagging or Security Tagging and look

Heres one URL to give you an idea of what to expect

Your main problem may be getting tags in reasonable quantities. i.e. less
than 1000 or even 10000. I would suggest grovel mode at your local Mall
might be the best option, or manufacture your own tags, Double sided sticky
tape, aluminium cooking foil and a sharp knife plus an example to copy.

But I thought the idea was for the Inductive Link to kick off the TX on the
moving body. If the tag is on the body, its not going to help surely
