I can see where this would be very helpful, but my fear is that the chips would quickly be used for storing all kinds of personal data that would be very easy for scanners to pick up and be used for not-so-good-intentions, or for uses that infringe on personal freedom and privacy. We already have criminals with the ability to snatch credit card info with scanners through a purse or wallet.
Just look at the internet, the way our info is collected, our surfing habits, and the way the info is used. I dislike anything that puts info into the hands of advertisers, or anyone willing to pay the most . . . and that will be one use that a human chip will eventually serve.
