there's really no need for things like that to be embedded in people - it's very inefficient. Far more efficient just to have people wear a tag of some sort when they enter the workplace if there's a need for tracking like that. That sort of thing is already quite common, for example in cash offices, and I'm sure most of us have cards which let us through security doors at work. Here in London our movements around the city can be traced from the smartcards that store our season tickets. Embedding things in people is pointless. Bob
