  1. Hmmm, no “you could put an eye out with that” jokes yet. I’ll give it ten more minutes and come back and be the one for the amusement of all. But really I wish I could be that darn clever once in a while.

  2. Implant the chip into reporters with known terrorist sympathies. Then, when the reporter gets a chance to do a live interview with a wanted terrorist … “We seem to be having technical difficulties, please stand by.” (What do you mean we just lost the feed? Why did everyone look up just before the screen went blank?)

  3. Dang! I thought your were serious so I posted my comment before clicking on the link. I hope they develope a real tracking chip before they turn the detainees at Gitmo loose. If our government was smart enough to tag them, it wouldn’t be stupid enough to turn them loose, and visa/versa. Now I’m all conflicted.

  4. Oh, this is technology that has already been used effectively by our military for years. As a matter of fact, almost every one of our military personnel has been trained in the implant procedure.

  5. Actually, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start chipping all the miscreants rounded up in Iraq or Afghanistan. Then you could tell them “you’ve been chipped. If you travel through an airport, border crossing, or checkpoint with American-style security, you’ll be pulled aside and interrogated instead of going anywhere. Same thing if you get pulled over for a traffic ticket.”
    After you actually chip a few and bust ’em in an airport, the real fun begins…..they’ll be looking into methods of chip removal, and you can start implanting only half of the ones you round up — while, of course, poking a similar hole in all of ’em. I’d imagine that having a local surgeon digging around in your tissues looking for a device the size of a grain of rice that isn’t even there would be a lot of fun.
