I agree, the idea of an implanted microchip is a scary prospect. Even scarier is the fact that our personal data is so easily accessible.

It’s scary that people manage to do these things.

I find the idea of an implanted microchip pretty scary too, though. I had no idea such a thing had even been considered.

Having micro chips (and I’m neither for or against them) implanted in your body won’t solve the problem, sooner or later somebody will figure out how to access the info, and it might be as simple as carrying around a scanner that hacks through any security procedures and then lifts absolutely everything about you from the chip.

Personally I’d like to see smart cards introduced that you can use for everything from your library membership to credit cards and medical records, it might not be any more secure than any other method but at least I’d only have to carry one card where ever I go.
