This position has been argued for quite some time. See The Spychips Threat: Why Christians Should Resist RFID and 
Electronic Surveillance  <http://www.amazon.com/Spychips-Threat-Christians-Electronic-Surveillance/dp/1595550216>

And it seems hard to oppose the criminalization of someone forcing me to embed something into my body, whether you're 
Christian or not.
