Seems a silly thing to request a patent for. If it's a viable technology(I assume it is) then it's probably already being used by governments(mossad, cia, kgb etc.) I can't imagine any other entity finding such a thing useful. I imagine it would best be used on volunteers offered increased freedom in exchange for the new risk. Much like the ankle bracelet.
As long as it was voluntary I would have no problem with it. Forcing such a thing on even the worst criminal I would be against. Better to keep them locked up or end it now without the implant. You know such a thing would be expensive so I'd want the money to come from the implantee, not tax payers. Most of us already have social security numbers, cell phones and drivers licenses and credit cards that track us almost as well as any gps tracker could. The idea of cyinide implants given to the general populace is preposterous. Never happen. If it did his patent would be useless because governments would just negate it. Much like what happened with the O-ring. Personally, I'd prefer the retina scan. dj Just occurred to me a similar technology is the female contraceptive implant. Wouldn't it be something if all those women already are being tracked...
