Applied Digital pushes microchip to plant in foreigners for tracking
By Deborah Circelli, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

   PALM BEACH -- Today's security measures don't work very well, says
Richard Sullivan, pointing to the Sept. 11 terror attacks on New York
and Washington.

   He's says he's got a better idea: a microchip instead of a green
   card.
Foreigners who pass through customs or immigration could be injected
with the chip, allowing officials to monitor their activities better
and keep terrorists out.

   "Man today is more than ever converging with technology," said
Sullivan, who is CEO of the Palm Beach-based tech company Applied
Digital Solutions (Nasdaq: ADSX, 45 cents). "I think the positives
overwhelmingly overcome any small negatives. The government is more
prepared, for the overall benefit of our citizens, to advocate some of
these changes."

I think this has to do with the biometrics-enabled ID card that the
President mentioned in his address last night.  It's not subdermal
implants or anything like that.
