    There is information about CityWatcher and a photo of the guy quoted in the story here: http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?A ID=/20050925/NEWS01/509250409/-1/CINCI/

    There's a press release quoting one of the other guys in that photo here:

    The doctor mentioned in the press release is an authorized Verichip minion:

    I anticipate the day when someone gets this great idea to put RFID chips under the skin.

    Like this?

    The Verichip website doesn't say anything about the ID number changing each time it's read - as far as I can tell, encryption is only featured in their (larger, non-implanted) Veritag ID badges. In any case, couldn't I walk around the club with an RFID reader, reading everyone's chip and advancing the sequence, thus making it impossible for anyone to buy drinks?

    This is avoided with Verichip, as the 128 bit number changes with each transaction in a manner specific to that chip... Go to www.adsx.com.

    OK, I went there, and I'm not seeing it... got a specific link? What I see is:

    A small amount of Radio Freqency Energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the individuals unique verification (VeriChipID) number.
    No mention of the number changing. I didn't even see where it said that it was a 128-bit number. Surely such a highly-moderated comment was verified by the moderators, right? Oh wait, this is slashdot... never mind.

    The chip exists, but this site is definetly a parody. Never the less the fact that RFID chips the size of a grain of rice exist today should give us pause. This has been discussed for implantation in paroles, who could be tracked by RFID readers installed in various locations.

    Doesn't that company VeriChip already sell implants to track your kids in case of kidnapping? I wonder if those set off the post-9-11 extra-sensitive metal detectors. Wouldn't that be an unpleasant surprise later? Sorry, can't get on the plane with Mommy honey, because Mommy is paranoid that someone will take you from her.
