US group implants electronic tags in workers: "Sean Darks, chief executive of CityWatcher, said the glass-encased chips were like identity cards. They are planted in the upper right arm of the recipient, and read by a device similar to a cardreader.
'There's nothing pulsing or sending out a signal,' said Mr Darks, who has had a chip in his own arm. 'It's not a GPS chip. My wife can't tell where I am.'
The technology's defenders say it is acceptable as long as it is not compulsory. But critics say any implanted device could be used to track the wearer's without their knowledge. "
