Background information:
Microchip ID’s (RFID chips) are in everything in the modern world; from barcodes to pet trackers to credit cards, even cell phones. Over 80% of all merchandise in the United States have a microchip embedded somewhere in the product. In 2005 the FDA authorized the VeriChip Corporation to start producing a RFID chip to be use in humans. Eventually it would be a way to store medical information, used as a GPS tracker if activated and many other benefits.
