A Chip in your shoulder --Josh McHugh
Here's a list of RFID readers that can plug into various handheld computers—the 125 kHz readers, including this $425 model, would pick up a VeriChip. Models like this 2-inch-by-1-inch 125 kHz reader could be hidden quite easily. It wouldn't be hard for a tech-savvy stalker to rig his scanner to activate a camera whenever it detected an RFID chip. By logging the times that your implant was scanned, he could easily track your comings and goings

Belgians implant tooth with rfid for IDing the dead -- March 2006

In the case of humans, however, the intention of the ID tag is to allow forensic teams to retrieve a person's name, nationality, date of birth and gender allowing identification after, say, a natural disaster.
Experiments show that the tags withstand temperature changes of up to 450 °C - so they're pretty well vindaloo-proof - but repeated expansion and contraction of the tooth is still a problem, requiring the use of an insulating layer.

" he whipped out his cellphone.  "With this, I don't have to hurry," Peek said, shortly after tapping the device against a coaster-size terminal that flashed lights and beeped as it billed his credit card account.  "I don't have to stop at an ATM."  He is one of about 150 consumers who can use specially equipped cellphones inside the city's Philips Arena as part of a study by a group of payment and wireless companies
"Once I'm hungry, I am going to use my phone for food," Peek said...

"This is going to happen sooner than anyone realizes," said Dan Schatt, a Celent consultant who wrote a recent report on mobile payment technologies. "Everyone is trying to capture the consumer wallet: 2006 is the year that a lot of deals are put in place, but 2007 is the year we will actually see rollouts "

An Invasion of Privacy ? - Stephanie Puder -- March 20, 2006 ... Good article !
Applied Digital Solutions also hopes to use them to replace credit cards, social security cards, security passes and more. They want to use them to track kidnap victims, criminals, and government employees as well. The CEO of Applied Digital Solutions, Scott Silverman, expects these chips to be the only means of accessing any information within 10-15 years.
[ Ed : Being mandated for computer access could be a LOT sooner than that ...how about making that 10-15 MONTHS instead --- that would be far more realistic ]
"These scenarios have to do with some type of enforcement whether it is voluntary or by force, and that is exactly what people against these chips fear. "

Ed: Although the Bible does not say we will be "forced" to take the mark of the Beast, we will need the Mark for all grocery purchases. Therefore ---since one can not eat without taking the Mark -- one is cornered into taking the mark for food. This is stealth enforcement, rather than actual coercion."

"Our first amendment rights of free exercise and the establishment clause will also be violated due to the fact that groups such as Christians are extremely against these chips because they are similar to something prophesized about in the book of Revelations. Revelations 13:16-18 describes people being forced to receive the mark of the beast in order to buy or sell anything which sounds a lot like Scott Silverman’s plan. If these chips are enforced then Christians and others will not be able to freely exercise their religion."

"Then there is Scott Silverman’s plan: one day all of the documents necessary to do anything in this country (social security cards, licenses, birth certificates, bank account information, etc.) are held within microchips. At the time being Applied Digital Solutions maintains a strict voluntary rule when it comes to these chips; however,
if there is no way to access any information without one [ Ed: VeriChip ] what choice do we really have? These chips need to be prevented from having the capability to take away our rights. "

"That is because if these chips are enforced, by law or necessity, then we will only be given two choices: get chipped or don’t survive, and what choice does that really leave us with?
So once these chips start coming out into the public eye-- in sheep’s clothing-- remember what’s really growling beneath. "

www.google.com and you will see tons of information."

232 doctors to use VeriMed System -- March 20, 2006
"VeriChip Corporation, a subsidiary of Applied Digital ... announced today that 172 new physicians registered to provide the VeriMed(TM) Patient Identification System to select patients at the recently completed American Medical Directors Association (AMDA) 2006 Annual Symposium held March 16-19 in Dallas. Overall, since the FDA granted clearance of VeriChip for medical applications, 232 doctors have elected to provide the System. 80 hospitals and medical facilities nationwide previously agreed to adopt the VeriMed Patient Identification System for patient identification.
Moreover, while some early adopters learn of VeriMed on their own, we expect many patients to first learn of VeriMed from their physicians"

Big Brother on a tiny chip-- March 20, 2006 -- Rosie Lombardi
"A key concern was the use of active RFID chips, which emit a constant signal that can potentially be read by criminals covertly scanning passport holders at airports. The agency has since announced it will proceed with a revised plan using passive RFID chips, which emit no signal until they are activated by a reader at close range.
As of October 2006, all U.S. passports will contain RFID chips.

FDA
Ed: clarification ....
VeriChip is FDA approved only when it is intra-muscular and used for medical purposes. It is NOT approved for financial and security purposes, and they even say so in their press releases.


"VeriChip is the only company that offers FDA-approved, human implantable RFID. We're the only ones on the block," he says. The company offers a variety of systems that represent the state of the art today in human RFID."

VeriMed
Ed : Comment ...
How can ADS say it is "voluntary" when eventually all medical applications will require a Verichip for record keeping? To choose not to take the chip means that health care will be denied.

Yes, one could be tracked with this chip. Certainly medical tracking leaves one terribly vulnerable to an arbitrary system of adopted guidelines and insurance prohibitives.
Anytime one's implanted arm is near a scanner, one can be tracked.


"VeriMed is a voluntary medical device offered to those who choose to adopt it. This system is not used for tracking – it is strictly for identification, and that's an important distinction," says Procter

VeriGuard ID..
Ed:
the following statement is very revealing.
It implies that both the VeriGuard ID number and the VeriMed ID number on the implanted chip within the arm is a consigned number  ( similar to an EMPLOYEE ID number) and NOT one's
Social Security number.  The VeriGuard and VeriMed chip can be interchangeable, as the statement below confirms. 

We can then deduce that when VeriChip is finally implanted in the right hand or forehead for
Financial transactions,  then at that time [ and for the first time ] it will most likely have one's unique Social Security number imprinted within it.
At that point, it will not be interchangeable for any other application.

We know from the Bible that the chip in the right hand or forehead HAS to be vastly different from any other implantable chip, since it is damning. Rev. 14 : 9--11
It will therefore have to have a different number and will NOT be interchangeable with the VeriGuard and VeriMed systems, or any other application for that matter. 
It will ONLY be used exclusively with the
666 global Financial System of the beast, complete with his name or number or image.

Since the hand-forehead chip will be different in number, it is not too hard to envision the fact that VeriChip will call these chips by a different name ... perhaps a name that allies with the Beast.
And perhaps a tattoo-image will be externally placed on the skin above the implanted chip for easy
scannability, as well as proclaiming Loyalty and agreement with the 666 Financial System.
"

"If an employee leaves the company, the ID number is removed from the access list, but the chip is not removed from the employee's arm, he says. "It can be used for other medical identification purposes."

"Many technology cheerleaders are naïve and short-sighted about the way technology is, can or will be used," says Philippa Lawson, executive director at the Canadian Internet Policy & Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC). "People have not thought through the societal implications of RFID. Is this the direction we want to be heading, giving the capability to third parties to engage in ubiquitous and surreptitious surveillance?"

"what is purportedly voluntary in the vast majority of cases is not fully informed consent"

The DSVII-SC reader can communicate over wireless LAN or cellular networks, has biometric capabilities, and reads PDF bar codes, magnetic strips and RFID chips. It also can retrieve data from on-board memory or an external database via wireless 802.11 or Bluetooth technology, said Stuart Tucker, customer and sales support manager at Datastrip.

Ian Furlong, manager of Intel's <INTC.O> Solution Services division for Central Europe, said the price of RFID tags was "rapidly falling toward the 5 euro cent mark. As a result, demand from a variety of industries will increase."
( Ed: yes; and when the ID chip is required for all purchases, it will be amazing how the government will step in and "help" .
Given the right must-have application for RFID, they say, privacy concerns will fade away.

Personal RFID chips to go"through the roof" --March 9, 2006

"Our sector is again growing faster this year in the EU than the economy as a whole," the vice-president of the German industry group Bitkom, Heinz-Paul Bonn, said.
Among the most hotly awaited trends are new applications for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, which is set to wipe the traditional barcode off the information map.
Developers see hundreds of uses for the tiny antennae planted in chips the size of a postage stamp.
Shoppers in the future will be able to pull their trolleys up to the supermarket counter
and with one beep have all the products registered and checked out in an instant.
Bookworms will be able to run through a similar scanner and, with a chip in each volume,
skip long checkout lines at the library.

Patients will eventually be able to have RFID chips implanted
in their bodies, allowing any attending doctor to call up his or her personal health history at the touch of a button.
"CeBIT is focusing on RFID this year because in the future, all processing, for example in the field of
logistics, will be changed beyond recognition," Raue said.
The global market for RFID chips is expected to go through the roof in coming years, with turnover likely to quadruple to R41-billion by 2008, according to independent research firm
IDTechEx.

Access control will now involve a 2 factor system : an embedded number under the skin, and a biometric identifier ( such as a fingerprint or iris scan ) . This proves the Bible to be the most accurate source of futuristic truth, as usual.  It clearly points to an eventual Mark of the Beast number -- that is yet to come -- and that will be placed within the right hand or in the forehead, so as to be near a biometric identifier.

The "customized programming" and "innovative technology" is already here, as mentioned in the article below. All that is needed now is for the antichrist-Beast to rise, and the seamless global financial system to be in place. We are sooo close. It won't be long and we'll all be gone.

Big Brother Under Your Skin -- Maureen Farrell -- Feb. 27, 2006

Newborns are already being tracked via RFID technology, and it's not unfeasible that "chipping" could become as commonplace as circumcision. After all, when a former government official tells a major daily newspaper that RFID "will prevent babies from being picked up by the wrong people in a maternity ward and make sure people in nursing homes don't walk away" and announces plans to get "chipped" himself, the day might come when Big Brother could literally get under our skins.
After all, in the past few years, the notion of Big Brother has gone from George Orwell's fantasy to mainstream acceptance. And though Mark of the Beast superstitions are often quite laughable, they become less humorous against the backdrop of today's Apocalyptic political climate. ("This is going to be just like the Book of Revelation said it was going to be -- the end of the world as we knew it," Thompson concluded in July, 2003 -- an assessment a surprising number of Americans seem to share.)

VeriTrace -- wireless cameras capture videos for chips in dead people
-- Feb. 21, 2006
"VeriTrace includes a unique RFID implantable microchip, an advanced
Ricoh digital camera and a web-enabled data base for gathering and storing information and images.
The system allows the user to accurately tag, track, inventory and
capture the images of human remains and evidentiary ( Ed: evidence) items associated with small casualties, mass disasters or crime scenes.
The features of VeriTrace reveal a complete end-to-end solution for medical examiners, coroners, forensic scientists, sheriff's departments, police organizations, criminalists, crime scene investigators and the like.

The VeriChip RFID implantable
microchip is inserted in the remains at the onset of processing. Subsequent
(
Ed: afterwards) to the insertion, a VeriChip scanner is waved over the insertion area and "reads" the
VeriChip 16 digit identifier.
The Ricoh digital camera has the ability to read the VeriChip ID number via a wireless Bluetooth® connection to the VeriChip scanner. Once the VeriChip ID is captured by the camera, it is embedded into every subsequent image taken and permanently associated with those images.

The data and images gathered are then uploaded or entered into a proprietary web-enabled database or an existing database system at the intended facility. The database functionality ensures the precise collection, storage and inventory of all data and images related to the remains and evidentiary items.

A full demonstration of the VeriTrace application will be scheduled at multiple times throughout the A.A.F.S. Meeting at the VeriChip exhibit booth #213 in the Washington State Convention & Trade Center, Seattle, WA. It will also supplement the dialogue presented by Gary Hargrove, Coroner of Harrison County, MS,

and the coroner in charge of
FEMA's DMORT (Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team) facility in Gulf Port, MS, during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Mr. Hargrove will be discussing, among other items, his experience using the VeriChip implantable microchip, its advantages, how it worked, the information he used the VeriChip to track and his opinion of the cost benefit of using the VeriChip.

ID and drones --Feb. 21, 2006 ..George Monbiot
While implanted chips will not  ( Ed : ? ) lead to the mass scanning of the population, another use of the same technology quite possibly will. At the end of last month, a leaked letter from Andy Burnham, the Home Office minister, revealed that the identity cards ( Ed: REAL ID ) for which we will involuntarily volunteer will contain radio frequency identification chips. This will allow the authorities to read the cards with a scanner.
I propose that as the technology improves, the
police will be able to scan a crowd and (assuming everyone is carrying his voluntary-compulsory ID card) produce a list of whom it contains. I further propose that it will take only a year or two for this to seem reasonable    Its purpose is the "market acceleration" of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). With the help of companies such as BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce and our new friend Qinetiq, the agency hopes to find the best way of encouraging the
"routine operation of UAV systems UK-wide". Ceredigion council's website lists various functions of the UAVs, of which the first is "law enforcement
(
Ed :  May God help us all )
So the police won't even have to be there. Someone sitting in a control room could fly a tiny drone (some of them are just a few inches across) equipped with a receiver over the heads of a crowd and, with the help of our new identity cards, determine who's there. It sounds quite mad, just as the idea of biometric identity cards in the UK once did. All these new technologies somehow contrive to seem both wildly implausible and entirely likely.

The Perpetual Surveillance Society -- Feb. 23, 2006-- George Monbiot
http://www.alternet.org/rights/32645/

Easily removed ?? Well, here's something to consider:
VeriChip often says that their product can easily be removed, if later on one should desire to do so.
Do you really think it will be easy to remove something "permanently" bio-bonded with your skin-tissue? I think not. One would have to take a good chunk out of their right hand or forehead in order to remove it.
Would gangrene set in ? Would one eventually have to
cut off their hand in order to stop the gangrene ?
( Mark 9:43 and
Matthew 5:30 )

After all, doctors will most likely be prohibited from removing the 666 mark of the beast chip when it becomes required...so everyone will be left to their own devices for removal ( thus a greater risk of infection setting in ).
Most doctors are already intimidated by the fact that EMR - EHR
( electronic medical records; electronic health records )
already exists wherein every transaction performed by the doctor is on electronic records.
If the average layman cannot stop the gangrene, then death occurs.
So "easy removal" is not so "easy" after all. Best not to get a subdermal chip at all.


The real threat to our privacy -- Feb. 19, 2006 -- Rob Hood
"I simply don't like the idea of having a chip implanted into my skin and letting the government know where I am at all times, what I buy, why I buy it, and other things that are personal. I work with RF technology every day and know how complicated it can get, but at the same time know that RF technology has its flaws and some chips can be FRIED just by common static electricity, so I wonder how these chips will hold up under mild electric shock by those wanting to remove it or destroy its transmission sequence."

RFID helps to track consumers -- Feb. 17, 2006
In October 2004, the FDA approved the country's first RFID chips that can be implanted in humans. The 134 kHz RFID chips, from VeriChip Corp., a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions Inc., can incorporate personal medical information and could save lives and limit injuries from errors in medical treatments, according to the company. The FDA approval was disclosed during a conference call with investors. Shortly after the approval, authors and anti-RFID activists Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre discovered a warning letter from the FDA that spelled out serious health risks associated with the VeriChip. According to the FDA, these include "adverse tissue reaction," "migration of the implanted transponder," "failure of implanted transponder," "electrical hazards" and "magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] incompatibilty."

A primary security concern surrounding RFID technology is the illicit tracking of RFID tags. Tags which are world-readable pose a risk to both personal location privacy and corporate/military security. Such concerns have been raised with respect to the United States Department of Defense's recent adoption of RFID tags for supply chain management. More generally, privacy organizations have expressed concerns in the context of ongoing efforts to embed electronic product code (EPC) RFID tags in consumer products
http://www.line56.com/articles/default.asp?articleID=7351&TopicID=2

Ed: The above articles tell of all the aspects of rfid; but they left out the main fact:
the 666 MOB is a 1 way ticket to the Lake of Fire forever.
Just read any article about the subdermal chip and it will raise questions of privacy and medical concerns and social concerns ( man as a numbered animal ). But where is the collective outcry across our land and in our pulpits every Sunday morning about the warning contained in Revelation 14 ? Does your Pastor warn ?

About requiring Workers to get implanted chips -- Feb. 17, 2006
Katherine Albrecht, Spychips co-author and outspoken critic of the VeriChip, says the chipping sets an unsettling precedent. “It’s wrong to link a person’s paycheck with getting an implant,” she said. “Once people begin ‘voluntarily’ getting chipped to perform their job duties, it won’t be long before pressure gets applied to those who refuse.”
"Albrecht and McIntyre, who are Christians, also have religious concerns about RFID chip implants. In their latest book,
The Spychips Threat: Why Christians Should Resist RFID and Electronic Surveillance, the pair explain how plans by global corporations and government entities to broadly deploy RFID could usher in a world that bears a striking resemblance to the one predicted in Revelation, the last book of the Bible.
“While Christians have theological reasons to reject being uniquely numbered, this is an issue that should concern anyone who values privacy and civil liberties,” said Albrecht. “The VeriChip is Big Brother technology being unscrupulously marketed by a company that would like to put a chip in every one of us. It has no place on free American soil.”http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/feb/06021607.html
Ed: Hell is not only a theological issue .. it's the destiny of anyone taking the 666 Mark of the Beast...
Christian or not, religious or atheist... anyone submitting to the 666 global economic system


VeriChip required for employment ??
Privacy advocates are naturally concerned about the almost certain development of forced chippings. Wired quotes Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center as saying "(ID chips) are a form of electronic leashes, a form of digital control. What happens if an employer makes it a condition of employment for a person to be implanted with the chip? It could easily become a condition of release for parolees or a requirement for welfare."

Every Financial Transaction
If someone carries a Visa, a Mastercard, and an Amex, not a single one of those companies has all of that person's information. Verisign might be hired to do no more than verify identities, but it will also be
maintaining a record of every transaction someone makes—including banking, credit cards, bill payments, purchases, etc. Multiply that single person by millions or more and Verisign will be in a position that perhaps no other company now enjoys. How much power does that give them? And how much power does it give the group that successfully hacks VIP?

Requiring Chip for employment ? -- Feb. 21, 2006
Forcing employees to have a surgical procedure, however minor, in order to simply start a job sets a dangerous precedent for privacy and civil liberties, not to mention being immoral on its face.
RFID chip manufacturer VeriChip, however, claims readability on their product from
up to 15 feet away. With readability from such a distance, suddenly it becomes feasible for a company to install RFID readers throughout its entire building so it knows where everybody is at all times.

And if a company can do it, why not a city? Why not a state, or the entire country? Tracking an entire population is no longer in the realm of science fiction

Implanting RFID chips may actually decrease security, not increase it.
An RFID device is dead most of the time since it doesn’t have its own internal source of power. Rather, the reader sends a burst of power through radio waves that turn on the device, and then a second signal sends a request for the device’s ID.
The thing is, anybody with enough patience to wait for someone to use the door can pick up this unsecured conversation with a simple directional antenna.


Or, if you have the signal broadcast by the door, you can program it into your own handheld reader and use it to trigger the unwitting employee’s ID tag. Presto! You have all the information you need to make your own CityWatcher data center RFID chip.

The VeriChip is a glass encapsulated RFID tag that is injected into the flesh of the triceps area of the arm to uniquely number and identify individuals. The tag can be read through a person's clothing, silently and invisibly, by radio waves from a few inches away. The highly controversial device is being marketed as a way to access secure areas, link to medical records, and serve as a payment instrument when associated with a credit card.

From Redstate :
"So what you've got is a technology that one company is using for Identification and Security purposes and another sector is using for
buying and selling of goods.  How long will it be until the two sectors merge, using RFID technology for both purposes?
That's when this whole thing gets really dangerous, IMO."

Biometric Mark of the Beast
Cass Swenson: "When you scan your finger or any other part of your body, it becomes digital information. Digital information can be easily copied, easily transferred and easily altered. I am worried that people will think that finger scanning is more secure than money. I admit it has it ups and downs, but what happens if you lose your credit card? Cancel it? Replace it? No problem. What happens if your biometric data gets stolen? Cancel it? Replace it? Once your biometric data is compromised, it’s compromised for life"
Your biometric data will be referenced and cross- referenced as the government will see fit to track potential terrorists. You might find Homeland Security at your door one day even if you’ve done nothing wrong.

When the machine fails, you can’t argue with it because that’s what it is – a machine. Eventually biometrics will discard the human factor and will let scanners and computers take over the identification process. It will ultimately take over the task of granting or denying certain rights. Once again, you can’t argue with a machine." [ Ed: arbitrary ]

Yes, you have insurance ; No, you can't see the doctor -- Jan. 29, 2006
Although the following story is about a federal health program, it doesn't take much to see the final application of the above title.
The day will come when those who can afford private health care and have adequate insurance will be denied medical help of any kind, simply because of the fact that they do not belong to the 666 system and its implanted chip.

CLONING CHIPS

Cloning Verichip
http://cq.cx/verichip.pl and http://cq.cx/verichip.pl

VeriChips unprotected -- March 16, 2006
As far as I can tell, there are no security measures taken with the chip. It's not a secure chip," said
Richard M. Smith, an Internet and privacy consultant in Boston. "There's nothing to stop someone from accessing the code and cloning the chip" to access records, he said.

Even though the medical information is stored in a protected computer, anyone with a password could obtain the information.
"Once the identification number is obtained, who gets to decide who gets access to the Web site?" asked Janlori Goldman of the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, who heads the Health Privacy Project, a Washington-based research and advocacy group. "Can law enforcement have access? Can public health workers have access? Can employers have access? Given the recent efforts by law enforcement and data monitoring by the government, this is exactly the kind of technology that would be attractive."
And, like any computerized database, it could be vulnerable to hackers.

RFID Cloning
-- Feb. 14, 2006
A commercial RFID tag reader offers no possibility to manipulate the lower layers of the protocol over the air; it just gives you the ID, or the piece of information that you requested, and it doesn't tell you what it went through that get that. For ID-only tags (like most low-frequency prox cards), the ID is really all that there is to know. Modern tags are more complex, though; they do things like anti-collision, or crypto, or addressable memory on the tag. As these more interesting tags become more prevalent, it seems terrible not to be able to know this, and that is not possible without either (a) getting schematics and code for a suitable commercial reader, or (b) starting from scratch. Option (a) did not seem plausible; I therefore started from scratch

VeriChip not really 'clonable' --- Feb. 9, 2006
A recent report that an implanted Verichip was "cloned" -- not really a great trick -- isn't all that troubling since the "clone" isn't a similarly-implanted tag but is only the ID code transmitted by a handheld device.
It should be remembered, however, that without access to chips before their unique identification code is permanently burned into them, it will not be possible to actually clone a chip -- as long as the chip's code is part of the data that's validated

First, all systems should check the tag ID code.The unique codes are far more difficult to counterfeit and, more importantly, are impossible to "mask" when the tag is read.
While it's true that including checking the tag ID
won't prevent interception and retransmission of valid data, it will require the criminal to have a portable device to transmit the code rather than using a chip with the data encoded.

Hacking smart cards and subdermal chips --May 2, 2006
The coil in Westhues' hand is the antenna for the wallet-sized device he calls a cloner, which is currently shoved up his sleeve. The cloner can elicit, record, and mimic signals from smartcard RFID chips. Westhues takes out the device and, using a USB cable, connects it to his laptop and downloads the data from Van Bokkelen's card for processing. Then, satisfied that he has retrieved the code, Westhues switches the cloner from Record mode to Emit. We head to the locked door.
Because the VeriChip uses a frequency close to that of many smartcards, Westhues is pretty sure the cloner will work on my tag. Westhues waves his antenna over my arm and gets some weird readings. Then he presses it lightly against my skin, the way a digital-age pickpocket could in an elevator full of people. He stares at the green waveforms that appear on his computer screen. "Yes, that looks like we got a good reading," he says.

After a few seconds of fiddling, Westhues switches the cloner to Emit and aims its antenna at the reader. Beep! My ID number pops up on its screen. So much for implantable IDs being immune to theft. The whole process took 10 minutes. "If you extended the range of this cloner by boosting its power, you could strap it to your leg, and somebody passing the VeriChip reader over your arm would pick up the ID," Westhues says. "They'd never know they hadn't read it from your arm." Using a clone of my tag, as it were, Westhues could access anything the chip was linked to, such as my office door or my medical records.

Two-factor ID : a number and a biometric identifier ....
Currently there are news stories about VeriChip being clonable and hackable.
We at Apocalyptic Hope do NOT see this happening, since the chip is only one half of the identification system.
It also requires a biological-identifier ( fingerprint-image from right hand) or iris scan
( from forehead ) to complete the strong authentication and verification of the ID.

Cloning a verichip would be useless without also taking the person's right hand and/ or forehead.

VeriChip ... e-commerce; Health Information ; ID databases - Jan. 6, 2006
"The VeriChip Health Information Microtransponder System consists of an implantable RFID microtransponder, an inserter, a proprietary hand-held scanner, and secure database containing the patient approved healthcare information....
providing a tamper-proof means of identification for enhanced e-commerce security.
VeriChip is not an FDA-regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification or safety applications
If popular, the success of the medical applications of the VeriChip may herald further uses for security, identification and e-commerce"
http://www.gizmag.com/go/3339/
Ed:
From what I gather, the VeriChip is FDA approved
* ONLY * if it is implanted in the muscle of the forearm.
It is
* NOT * FDA approved if implanted in the right hand or forehead.
Apparently, there is not enough muscle to secure it permanently in place, it would seem.
Would it then be like an embolism and travel to the brain or heart ?
Would the capsule break, and leak deadly lithium and polymers ? Something to consider.

Time will tell.
