First of all, let's get a little of our English correct... the word is MOOT, not MUTE. You'll also be taken much more seriously if you show that you care enough to use correct spelling, not to mention grammar and punctuation.

Secondly, what you are saying is that anyone with access to an X-ray machine would qualify as an expert on chip authentication. That's a good concept, but I still fuzzy on where the slabbing comes into play. Are you saying that in order for a chip to be authenticated it would have to be slabbed along with an X-ray? What a novel idea!
