The chip cards are "dead" unless the reader applies power to the chip pins:
Without physical contact nothing can happen on the card.

I think that you only need to send a radio signal, and the card chip will respond. I recall reading somewhere that there are devices that can activate the chip from 10 feet away.
I have an ID card with one of those chips in it. Our security people tell us to carry the ID cards in a RF proof sleeve to protect the data.
