Just a Grain of Rice

VeriChip Wants To Test Human Implantable RFID On [US] Military. This information week article indicates that at least one company thinks we should treat military members like pets. I think this is a double plus ungood. What think you?

Thanks to lina.d for pointing this article out to me.

I miss card readers. My current employer uses cypher locks.

I also have reached the conclusion you state. I definitely do not think this tech is inherently a bad thing. I do think that if it's not very well implemented, that it could cause problems, but that's realyl a data security issue. Seeing as i've gotten 2 new debit cards from my bank due to the Visa/MC DB breaches last year, data security uber alles, as well as appropriate, and respeceted, limits and boundaries on the use of the tech and data.
