Ok I"m feeling stupid and the only thing I can come up with is a cell phone or onstar in your car!? What are you refering to please?

Pocket lint.

Yes, cell phones. If your phone has juice without much work at all you can be tracked to a relatively small area and with just a bit of work to an exact area.

Plus the E-911 law requires that all new cell phones have the ability to precisely identify their location (ostensibly for use when calling 911).

So most people have already consented to an ability to be tracked way more pervasive and potentially useful (and nefarious) than embedded RFID microchips.

If anyone ever wants to find me, I am right here.

Thanks Alex. It had me pondering for a few minutes though.

Maybe I should bring out my aluminum foil leisure suit again?

You're part of the lucky 10%,

Of course - I can choose to leave my cell phone at home or to not have one. If I had something in my arm, it would be much more difficult to not bring it with me.

Just what items from walmart and best buy? and why? and Why in tires?
