Wealthy Mexicans Getting Chipped in Case of Abduction

Because the number of abductions in Mexico has jumped almost 40% in the past 3 years, the wealthy are getting subcutaneous transmitters so they can be tracked when kidnapped. Xega, the Mexican security firm which makes the chips, has seen a sales jump of 13% this year. The company injects the crystal-encased chip, the size and shape of a grain of rice, into clients' bodies with a syringe. The chip then sends radio signals to a larger device carried by the client with a global positioning system in it. A satellite can then be used to find the location of the missing person. Things must be a lot worse in Mexico than I thought.

Three problems I have with this.

• You have a chip in your body, so they'll chop your arms off.
• The chip transmits to a larger device that you carry with you?!??!?! So what good is it? They'll take the larger device away!
• This is the Mark of the Beast, from the Book of Revelations. The end of the world is coming, and so is the long-awaited Second Coming! (My girlfriend will be pleased to hear the latter, but not the former.)
