Declan, I think this is a lie - they want kidnappers to think they can

Mexican Officials Get Chipped

The attorney general of Mexico and several of his staff implant 
microchips in their arms. The chips provide access to a crime database 
and track their bearers if they are kidnapped -- assuming their 
abductors don't slice out the chips.
