Hah! Funny. I didn't even read the article. It is a relatively obviously prediction, though. But interestingly, what good does it do for an Army Ranger if it is not possible to turn up the signal (or whatever one does) so that it is readable from orbit or from a drone aircraft? It would have to be able to be used for tracking.
I believe there is a small difference, though, Alex, between the retinal scanner or finger printing. These do not broadcast a signal and they are not easily tampered with or duplicated.
I'm sorry that I didn't post the meaning of the phrase "frog in the kettle", Kevy. I made an assumption that it was more common than it is.
One thing I'd like to point out is that I never made a value judgement as to whether this is good or bad. But each tiny step in the use of this tech will lead to more and more tiny steps, until it is as accepted as a social security number for identification (which was never, ever supposed to happen, and I believe it is even against the law, though I'm not certain).
