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.
But some idiots in govt already are saying they think it is a good
idea. First they will use these on convicted criminals. Then they
will find a reason to use them instead of drivers licenses and ID
cards. Then everyone will be trackable via GPS at any time. The
next step is to design the implant so it can inject a lethal dose of
poison when triggered by a signal, or if an attempt is made to remove
it. Big Brother never had it so good!!
