Perhaps I'm being dense but how could this be non-destructive?
Do you mean "non-obvious"? Or "reversible"?
If the usual microwave games don't apply, perhaps sufficient
acceleration or ionic fluids would work. Thermal stress
for the liquid nitrogen folks? The flash unit from
a $4 disposable camera does a nice job of vaporizing a spot of
metal from a coin or screwdriver shorting the cap.
Do any europeans have experience leaving smartcards in the laundry?
One question would be how to discretely test/verify the new read-not mode :-)
