Americans starting to implant RFID chips in humans
CHICAGO - Say you have a high-security workplace and worry about the wrong people getting in.

Forget badges that can be lost or stolen. Why not tag employees with a radio-transmitting chip.

From about a foot away a special device will read the implanted chip's 16-digit number - and zap, doors open and close.

That Orweillian-sounding idea is exactly what an Ohio security firm's boss has done with two of his workers and himself.

''We wanted a way to say, 'Hey, we are a little different in the way we take our security,''' explained Sean Darks, chief executive of CityWatcher.Com in Cincinnati, who also is wearing a chip. ''I wouldn't have my employees do something, if I didn't do it myself,'' he added.

His glee is not shared by workplace and privacy experts, who shudder at the idea that Corporate America might decide to brand employees with the latest technology, known as Radio Frequency Identification Device.
