But this identification technology isn't as futuristic as it sounds. In fact, RFID has existed for several years (dating back to the late 1940s) and is gaining popularity in its use in credit cards, toll booths, passports and subway systems.

"an organization based in West Palm Beach, FL, that cares for more than 2,000 Alzheimer's patients and caregivers throughout a three-county radius (Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie) — partnered with neighboring RFID technology manufacturer VeriChip to begin a 2-year pilot program using the company's latest RFID device — the VeriMed microchip."To date, about 100 patients and caregivers with Alzheimer's Community Care have undergone successful RFID implants with another 100 expected to be implanted by February 2009.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev 13:16-17
People, it has to start somewhere. And here is another example of it growing across the nation.
