It depends upon the venting that is used, look for your vent pipes on the roof and see if any are close to open windows. If you find a particularly close vent pipe (and you home has several vent pipes) you can add a "Studor Vent" to the top of the vent. A Studor vent is the equivalent to a one-way air valve that only allows air to pass, or be drawn, into the pipe, so that sewer gases will be greatly reduced. You don't even have to use pipe cement/adhesive to secure the Studor Vent.

Maintaining Your Septic System?
Performing routine septic tank maintenance will prevent your septic tank from backing up and flooding your yard. If a septic tank backup happens, it could cost you thousands of dollars to fix. Use a septic tank kit that you can pour down the toilet once a month. It will contain the necessary enzymes needed to breakdown solid waste material inside the septic tank, keeping fluid flowing freely through the drainpipe. Avoid disposing of materials such as Q-tips, tampons or excessive toilet paper, as these items will clog your system and are hard to break down. Consider using septic system safe toilet paper.

I doubt that you have a tracking system installed in your body, as it could not be installed in your body without your consent. I do not know if tracking systems for humans exist either. If it does exist, and if you were to have it installed, I am sure that the CIA and FBI would be able to gain access to it and find out your location.
