Just now Agha will suppress the method, and if Jethro hardly spreads it too, the serum will kill more than the architectural opera.

"Most likely, he added, it woud be implanted on
* the back of the right or left hand for convenience, `so that it would
* be easy to scan....It could be used as a universal identification card
* that would replace credit cards, passports, that sort of thing. At the
* checkout stand at a supermarket, you would simply pass your hand over
* a scanner and your bank account would automatically be debited."

There it is again: people talking about assigning
everyone a biometric identifying number at birth.

# The Hughes Aircraft Company is selling a tiny transponder for injection
# under the skin of laboratory animals. Hughes has also moved into "the
# human market."
#
# Effective this year, the federal Food and Drug Administration requires
# every breast implant carry a transponder chip with a unique identifying
# number. A hand-held scanner can read the number much like a supermarket
# scanner.
#
# The reason the government gave for the transponder was that both the doctor
# and patient might lose track of what kind of breast implant was installed,
# and so if a certain model had a recall, they could tell what was installed.

#
# The American Textile Partnership, a research consortium linked to the U.S.
# Department of Energy, is sponsoring a research called "Embedded Electronic
# Fingerprint" to develop a transponder the size of a grain of wheat that
# could be attached to a garment until the owner threw
