I understand how nice it would be for medical staff to have records on the other end of a scanner, how wonderful for families to have closure, how great to LoJack kids and pets that might be stolen and elderly that might wander off. Used for good...great ideas. But, I do not see how a chip other than LoJack would help in so many cases, and see how much harm could so easily be caused, and HIPPA would have to be expanded if humans were chipped cuz every RFID scanner could conceivably be changed and all your private medical history be on file at Wal-mart. Issues caused by retinal scans revealing medical conditions should have taught us something. Also, we have things like this working against our rights to privacy:

IRS faces class action lawsuit over theft of 60 million medical records | Healthcare IT News

I sure don't know where it will all end...I just hope it does.
