You don't even have to bother with something as complicated as an ID. My mom spent hundreds on little metal disks that the seller claimed blocked 5g. She's got them all over her house: under all of her electronics, in her wallet, and anywhere else someone's managed to convince her needs to be protected. She's tried getting me to take some, crying that the 5g will make me infertile if I'm not "protected" by 1mm of aluminum.

Hopefully they are just aluminium, there have been quite a few quack devices that claim to do magical things including blocking 5G that actually contain radioactive material. Not super high levels, probably all just raw ore, but probably not something you'd want near you for a prolonged time.

Well, she's already dying of breast cancer that she found while it was still DCIS, but continues to refuse anything but quack treatments even as it's progressed to stage 4, so I doubt a bit of uranium ore will be what takes her out in the end.

I'm sorry to hear that.
