Spanish Nightclub, Again

143624.jpg The second Tuesday of the month is implant night at the Baja and apparently British firm Surge IT systems has bought 9000 of the chips and 110 scanners for security, education and identification. [via The Inquirer via RFIDNews.

"You can buy drinks in Baja Beach Club in Barcelona if you let them chip you up by injecting you with a VeriChip.

The Verichip, made by Applied Digital Solutions is injected by a quack under local anaesthetic and is made of glass. The chip contains RFID, your name and the amount of dosh you have in your Baja account, said Discovery.

When you go to buy a drink, a very attractive young lady apparently passes a scanner over your body and the picture with the feature shows this is relatively painless."
