At the end of the newscast they show a symbol that is supposed to be on all credit cards that include the RFID capability. It's sort of like three short arcs emulating a "wave" coming out of an antenna. The common icon for speaker adjustment in the Startup tray (at the bottom right) in Windows usually has a speaker with two similar arcs.
Other things, like passports, probably won't be marked.
An embedded "chip" has no useful function if it can't be read without being seen, so quite probably any embedded "chip" is RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) capable.
