I posted the following as AC before I set up an account: I can see how this device would have many benefits, but stop and think for a moment about a person who is being stalked by an ex-bf or former spouse. Now this stalking victim was implanted with this tracking device at birth, and said psycho-bf can find them easily wherever they are. Oh great. Makes it harder to "disappear" to protect yourself. Sure, parents would always know where their kids were, but with this information getting into the wrong hands, a lot of dangerous people would have an easy time "getting even."
