We knew they'd start chipping people some day...

I'm going to indulge myself in a foil-hat moment here, because I agree with the folks that think it's a little too close to biblical prophecy for comfort.

Even if you didn't believe in it, why would any business want to do anything THAT likely to get people riled up against your product?

I will obligatorily point out that one cannot be tracked with the technology that these people were implanted with. The range on those things is a few inches. They aren't being used to track where they are, they are being used to allow those individuals access to a secure area. Major distinction in my book.

But, but but......they tracked Kames Bond with a similar device!

And his twin brother James.

Poor Kames.

Even at just a few inches I am not keen on the security of it. I'd want two chips, each with half of the necessary information embedded one in each hand so that it is unlikely the chips will simultaneously be close enough to a reader without my intent.

Not so much for opening doors or anything, but when I can get my ATM and credit cards embedded.

I try not to let my job get under my skin.

The "J" key and the "K" key are right next to each other on the keyboard and sometimes they stand in for each other when one needs a potty break.

Additional security. So instead of stealing keys they will steal arms.
