Man Fined For Implanting NFC Train Ticket In Hand (cnet.com)

Unhappy Windows User writes: An Australian man, when checked by a ticket inspector, claimed his smart travel card was implanted in his hand. He took the case to court and lost; the fine and legal fees add up to AU$1220 (USD $950). The man, who self-identifies as a biohacker and is a member of the Science Party, accepts the ruling but states that it won't discourage him from further biohacking. He claimed he was ahead of the law. The prosecution argued that, by cutting the chip out of the card, the ticket was invalidated. It is not clear from the article whether the NFC chip was working correctly and could be read by the inspector, or not. Further reading: BuzzFeed News

Jesus. Recycle his cellular material right now.

The guy's name is Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow.

Wait, is he from the Baltimore Meow-Meows? I think I went to school with one of his brothers.

So, he's probably a furry as well as a biohacker. Can I get one of the portable sterilization units over here right now? I think we have someone who must never be allowed to procreate.
