Human Bar Codes
posted by David Kushner @ 9/3/2004 11:34:29 AM

 Days after 9/11/01, New Jersey surgeon Richard Seelig didn't want to 
take any chances that his body could be lost in a disaster. After 
seeing the firefighters writing their social security numbers on their 
forearms, he knew there must be a better means of I.D. Dr. Seelig 
became the first human to be injected with a Verichip: a tiny radio 
frequency identification chip the size of a grain of rice. Is this the 
dawn of the human bar code?
