Mexican Attorney General Gets Microchip in Arm

Posted by timothy on from the but-anything's-removable dept.

novakreo writes "Rafael Macedo de la Concha, Mexico's Attorney-General, now has a non-removable microchip in his arm, to track his movements and to give him access to a new crime database, according to Bloomberg. The article says that eventually around 160 Mexican officials will have a chip implanted." (Wired and CNN are both running the very similar Reuters report, too.)

    Well, when someone REALLY wants access to the system, all they'll need is a saw.

      Most Saws don't work well on humans and would cause scars. You need a fine tooth long blade in a Sawzall, in order to quickly producea clean wound.

      Oh wait did yo want him to live afterwards???

      In that case never mind. An axe will work just as well.

      Don't worry. They've gone to great lengths to let the whole world know it's implanted in his arm, when actually it's in his left leg.

    I suddenly have a mental image of a Mexican criminal trying to get into a government installation carrying an arm...

    If he doesn't get in there, he can just go to a convenience store to commit an "armed" robbery.
