A company called CityWatcher.com has implemented RFID chips into its employees to track where they go throughout its facilities and what they do within them. The chips were reportedly implanted into the right arms of the employees, giving them access to highly sensitive information. CityWatcher produces equipment and services for law enforcement and other entities, giving this type of action a reason for existing but privacy and human rights groups are raising concerns. Some are saying that RFID implants will be setting the stage for more large scale deployment of similar human bio-tags.

They did this a while back in bloomberg.. although it was keychain. My current access to Rockefeller center is determined by the most primitive rfid (looks like hearing aid batt. on a stick).. but in blp.. if the phone in the mens' room was ringin right next to you, 99.95%, the call was for you. spoooooky.. I seen it in action a few years back as they tested it.
