Bio-chip Implant Ready For Cashless Society

Oh .. GET REAL!

The future is fingerprint readers and retinal sanners!

Not 'implantable chips' that can be dug out and then re-used by a criminal (let them TRY that with your eyes)!

Cashless means easy to tax.

deep muscle implants of very tiny chips might not be too easy to "dig out"
just use a long needle to implant...also GPS considerations more than likely...

"The future is fingerprint readers and retinal sanners! "

... and what do you do when someone finds a way to beat that system ?
( made a copy of my thumb a few years ago with liquid latex - had a few surprised salespeople when it beat their cheap readers at COMDEX in Vegas)

BTW - at these shows I saw MANY supposedly bright people filling in their personal information at a terminal for a demonstration - and then gladly giving the Chinese sellers copies of their fingers. Do you doubt that all of this went into a China government database for future reference if / when these people become captains of industry in the future ?

Re:"The future is fingerprint readers and retinal sanners:" I don't think so. You already have your fingers and eyes. A chip you would have to purchase!
