They can put them in riveted buttons, shoe soles, and the like such that
you would have to damage your clothing in a significant way to remove it.

If all money is RFID'd then stores and banks, etc. will tie specific
serial numbers to specific people.  They will also be able to work out
associations based on who you do business with.

They have shoes, usually.

Either way, they are required by the new cars to be able to start them.

Lots of people carry around lunches, gum, cigarettes, candy bars, soda
cans with them.

It's mandatory under U.S. law now to have GPS receivers in all new
phones.  They don't allow you to use older phones with the phone
networks.

And yet they are creating chips that can't be zapped in microwaves or
destroy by washing machines and dryers.  Or how about the printers that
require specific brand ink cartridges that must have a chip from their
own products to work (printer ink is 17 times more expensive than vintage
champagne).  Every single electronic device can be made to require these
authorization chips to work, pda's, phones, etc...
