and they've already been tested for years of implanting the "Verichip" into some test families..
they've been using them in tracking some pets for years..
the ID can be easily linked to a database to pick up medical info, financial records, etc.. just by passing your hand by a scanner..
there's also been an increase in use of similar devices to have on your keychain for paying for goods at gas pumps, etc... I have one of those, they link it to your credit card, and you just waive this little transponder and it automatically will bill the purchase to your CC... you can get a paper, chips, etc.. while you're getting your gas..
awww... they're "hoping" that people in America will start to "volunteer" to get the implant in their hand and that companies will adopt the "VeriPay" software to link the chip to automated payment systems..
banks have also been buying each other up in a frenzy... trying to consolodate themselves... which would also likely ease the use of the transition to the new software system..
this is the SAME technology that has also been pushed HARD by Wal-mart and some other stores to help save them billions in tracking inventory..
heck.. this could all just be "mandated" tomorrow...
pleasant dreams ;)
