Ok that sounds plausible but there is something being scanned from my Swedish passport that is not NFC. Every time I use my passport to identify myself they scan it with a red light scanner, like a barcode scanner, and they can hold it like 30 cm away so I don't think it's NFC.
That same light is in the little ticket terminals at the Copenhagen airport when you scan your passport there.
