Can you turn NFC off on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus?

I have some concerns about having an NFC chip inside my phone. My main issue is someone walking by with an NFC scanner, and activating it without my knowledge. Similar to the Android hacks:

Does anyone know if you can turn NFC off on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus? Or does it require the Touch ID to be pressed in order for it to even function? Or is it always just on, which would leave it susceptible to attacks?

Thanks so much!

The entry listed as "Solved" isn't a solution. I have a wallet case and the NFC is interfering with other NFC devices in it. I'd like to be able to selectively disable or enable NFC.
