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.’”

The government will also have access to that information under the Patriot Act or other similar laws.
