Thousands of people in Sweden are inserting tiny microchips under their skin — making their lives much easier as they no longer have to carry IDs, gym passes, and keycards to get into work....But it's not without data risks.

About 3,000 Swedes have inserted the tiny chips into their bodies over the past three years, the electronic tags are about the size of a grain of rice and are implanted in the back of the hand 'via a syringe'.

Libberton warns that by having a microchip implanted in your hand, you also give your data away.

"The real issue is data handling, which will be an issue later on with how data is stored... if the data is not secure, someone can get your information and once it's out there, it's hard to get back."

He also warns that some people could even be giving their data away without even realising it in the terms and conditions they sign.

Nevertheless, microchips have been hugely popular in Sweden, with some companies even holding so-called implant parties for their employees.

The Swedes are always good for a daily laugh.

"About 3,000 Swedes have inserted the tiny chips into their bodies"

Once enough do it, it will become mandatory. That's how socialists roll.

Steal something and they’ll chop your hand off.

Employers are already encouraging it.

How does one say “stupid” in Swedish?

Sweden.

Well, that will make it easier to report rapes and stabbings down at the hospital or police station. Less paperwork to fill out.

Teehee - I just had it put in my right hand or forehead and now I’m completely identifiable without papers!

...they omitted the best app. You walk into your local watering hole and everything you order is automatically charged to you courtesy of your chip. Now THAT would be worthwhile.

Why do the Swedes cut holes in their umbrellas?
Because they want to see when the rain ends.

[Roccus]

Where on earth could they hide a microchip?

I volunteer to find out.

“Book Of Revelation for more information.”

Not the same. The “sign” in Revelation is clearly visible to everyone.

[goodnesswins]

I was thinking every Muslim “immigrant” s/b required to have one

Gives a whole new meaning to “Lending the needy a hand...”

[txnativegop]

omtöcknad although there several different ways to do so.

Big business to be had in the Michael Jackson Ferriday glove business in Sweden soon.

Think of ALL of the things that can go wrong and they WILL.

History repeats and science fiction becomes reality. It seems to me the left's search for utopia always mimics the standard bearer for the perfect socialist controlled society: Nazi Germany.
