Human Use Of Tracking Microchips On The Rise

July 16, 2004 - Around the world, the practice of "tagging" humans with locator microchips has been taking off. Radio frequency identification (RFID) chips have been used everywhere from grocery stores and in house hold pets, but now they are being used to track the movements of children and government leaders.

School officials in Osaka, Japan have decided to use the devices to trace the whereabouts of the students of one primary (elementary) school. The chips will be put into the pupil's bookbags, nametags, or clothing and will be monitored at all entrances and exits to the school, and other "key locations".

Legoland, the building-toy based theme park in Denmark, adopted a similar practice in June to help parents keep track of wandering youngsters.

While the chips-on-kids practice so far has only been external tags, some political officials are going deeper with the location technology. Mexican Attorney General Rafael Macedo de la Concha had a permanent microchip implanted in his arm as a security measure. His chip not only allows the government to keep a watchful eye on him, in case of potential kidnapping or hostage situations, but it also grants him access to a national crime databank.

Soon, only Mexican officials with this implanted computer chip will be able to get to the information in the databank. A total of 160 Mexican officials will have the chip implanted, according to the Mexico City newspaper El Universal.

In an offical statement, the Attorney General said that "the system is already in place and I already have it. It's only for access, for security and so that I can also be located at any moment anywhere I am."
