Ready to be Microchipped?

Only in America could something like this be seen as 'normal' and acceptable by employees.  Will kiwi's be as gullible?

"VeriChip pushed for US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval of microchips in 2005. Seems VeriChip suffered a memory lapse though - they failed to disclose the veterinary and toxicology studies that link RFID chips to cancer in animals. They denied knowing about said studies despite Spychips.org (who were helping Leon’s owner) being able to easily find three studies in the Harvard library that support a cancer-microchip link in animals.

Cancer specialists who were consulted for the AP article cautioned that animal test results do not necessarily apply to humans. Nevertheless, they found the results troubling and a number of them apparently said they would not allow themselves or family members to be chipped. The FDA also apparently denies knowing of the animal studies. Of course, VeriChip insists that RFID chips are perfectly safe.

But there’s a really interesting connection here that AP brought to light. The FDA is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services. This department was headed by Tommy Thompson at the time the FDA approved VeriChip’s submission to implant chips in humans. Shortly after the approval took effect in January 2005, Thompson left the department and reappeared as? A board member of VeriChip Corp and Applied Digital Solutions (VeriChip’s parent company). He was compensated in cash and stock options."
