Crazy Canadians

I was doing some research for my paper about RFID readers and I ran across this story about a Canadian who implanted a chip with a RFID tag so that he can open his front door without a key and automatically log on his computer! That is so cool because it could definitely be useful, but a little scary that he just put a chip inside of him. It's like the prelude to tagging everyone for identification purposes.

    It doesn't really sound as crazy as the Japanese and their attempts to centralize all their money into a tiny chip on their cells. Can you imagine the panic that would ensure if someone dropped their cell in the toilet?

    There are fanatical religious groups who think RFID chips are analogous to the "mark of the Beast" in the Bible. It's weird stuff.

    Also, kind of more on topic, aren't the chips we have in our Act cards RFID chips?
