DIY Implanted RFID Tag
Medgadget offers scary insight on a do-it-yourself-way to implant RFID tags - under your skin. Mikey Sklar, who explains how, claims ID implants are on the rise:
I have found over sixteen instances of midnight engineers implanting RFID tags in their hands. The general excuse is for automation purposes. Examples such as unlocking a computer screen saver or opening doors that have been outfitted with electric deadbolts.

-- Implant night at the Baja Nightclub - You can buy drinks in Baja Beach Club in Barcelona if you let them chip you up by injecting you with a VeriChip.
-- Buy your martini with a chip - Bar Soba, a nightclub in Glasgow (Scotland), is about to offer its regulars the option of having a microchip implanted in their arm that will obviate the need to carry their wallet or queue for entry. (WMMNA)
-- An injection of RFID or GPS anyone? RFID to identify patients or track kidnapped children. (WMMNA)
