RFID chips under your skin

Techweb.com reports that TiVo has filed a patent for a Personal Video Recorder that tracks Radio Frequency ID tags in your clothing or even under your skin.

“The remote control device would identify and link the viewer to the system using an ‘RFID tag that is attached to a key ring, necklace, watch, in his wallet, or even a sub dermal tag inserted somewhere in the user’s body.’”

In the future consumer electronics will monitor you by RFID tags and will be able to transfer that information over the Internet to the parent company which will then be able to use that information for consumer profiling. The government will also have access to that information under the Patriot Act or other similar laws.
