RFID Microchip Implants – What Could Go Wrong?

Wisconsin-based Three Square Market announced that it wants to inject RFID microchip implants into half of its employees.  The company says this is a voluntary procedure and would make workers jobs more convenient. The technology behind this is actually not new.  We have been using these type of implants, the size of a grain of rice, in our pets and animals for identification since the late 1990’s.

The biggest issue is that of privacy.  Imagine you’re running late for work.  You arrive, make your way to your desk, sit down and start.  Normally there is a chance you might get caught and a lot of employers use time cards or computer login data to do this. These things are still in your control and you have the option of not using them.
