 I've done a few minutes of searching on the Internet regarding the
 use of chips implanted under the skin for identification and commerce.
 I'll be posting something about a company named Metro Risk Management
 Group (MRMG) that has secured distribution rights for VeriChip solutions
 in some countries.  It's a press release.  Here's an extract:

   MRMG also announced today it will no longer recommend the use of
   legacy biometric solutions such as retinal or fingerprint scans.
   Such technology requires expensive scanners and complex mathematical
   algorithms with a certain degree of error, deemed no longer acceptable
   for its financial clients.  Instead, the VeriChip(TM) system offers a
   simpler, cost-effective and more reliable method of identification.
   About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip(TM) is the world's first
   subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip that has a
   variety of security, financial, and emergency identification to name a
   few planned projects.

 Steve, it gets even more interesting.
