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.)

    Boy I wish Osama and crew put a system like this into place. It would've been a lot easier to fire a guided cruise missile up his ass, being able to track him no matter where he went and all. I mean, hooray for technology this can only possibly make the world better. Nothing bad can possibly come of this type of action.
