We are a distracted people (often through media), while so many things happen behind our backs and under our noses. As exciting as this technology is, which you list above, it should cause caution for the very reasons you state. Just because we can doesn't always mean we should. Pets can already be implanted with a chip so they can be found if they are lost. How long before the implants are upgraded for people... so a missing person can be found; for medical info; for bank/debit info... all for convenience? As wonderfully futuristic and amazing as it sounds... what will we lose then?

They're not looking toward the future possibility of a corrupt leader who could seriously abuse our new Homeland Security options.

And when men seek to dominate/control other men they only show themselves to be the devil they are without God in their life. What I can't understand is why anyone would want to be the richest person alive on a drowning ship? Go down if you want to go up; Die if you want to live; Be tough on life before it's tough on you; Prepare to suffer; Make pleasure a transition not an address; Complacency is a convenient killer; Truth is a bitter pill that leaves a sweet aftertaste.
