Re: Not so smart tech

Quite apart from its usefulness in the present crisis, implanting RFID devices in everybody could be of great help in identifying dead bodies that would otherwise be classed as John Doe. Of course, as it's only a short range technology, it couldn't be used for mass surveillance (yet!). I have one implanted in my right wrist, for access to my front door and my car, but that was for my own purposes, not for ID.
