From The Guardian:
Britain's biggest employer organisation and main trade union body have sounded the alarm over the prospect of British companies implanting staff with microchips to improve security.
UK firm BioTeq, which offers the implants to businesses and individuals, has already fitted 150 implants in the UK.
The tiny chips, implanted in the flesh between the thumb and forefinger, are similar to those for pets. They enable people to open their front door, access their office or start their car with a wave of their hand, and can also store medical data.
[...] Steven Northam, the founder and owner of Hampshire-based BioTeq, told the Guardian that most of its 150 implants have been for individuals, while some financial and engineering firms have also had the chips implanted in their staff.
BioTeq has also implanted them in employees of a bank testing the technology, and has shipped them to Spain, France, Germany, Japan and China.
We recently covered similar technology being used in Sweden but the idea of implanting a tracking chip in a human for identification is nothing new.

I agree that the bible is parody, satire, or generic fiction.

Your jokes are going to fall flat like that most every time you try shitting on a big chunk of the nation out of pure spite. Religious tolerance works for Christianity too or it doesn't work for any religion.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

No worries. Dick jokes seem to be all that're left lately. The ones where you're being a dick rather than making a jokes about dicks, I mean. When the entire culture is on the bandwagon, it's understandable to occasionally fall prey to it.

You got an apology, don't push it!
