TWO U.S. EMPLOYEES INJECTED WITH RFID MICROCHIPS AT COMPANY REQUEST
Government Contractor Adopts Controversial VeriChip Implant in Workplace

Cincinnati video surveillance company CityWatcher.com now requires employees
to use VeriChip human implantable microchips to enter a secure data center,
Network Administrator Khary Williams told Liz McIntyre by phone yesterday.

And now.. who wants to build the brute-force rfid reader using some
ipods or similar small equiptment. Place at gas stations, coffee
shops, and stripjoints near data centers and other places that
Citiwatcher announces in their PR campaign as using them.

"Hey boss my arm gets hot whenever I go fill up for gas." [Ok maybe
using the surplus soviet equiptment for the larger unit was a bad
idea.]
