Wait a minute… Mexico has computers?
Mexico’s attorney general said on Monday he had had a microchip inserted under the skin of one of his arms to give him access to a new crime database and also enable him to be traced if he is ever abducted.
Attorney General Rafael Macedo said a number of his staff had also been fitted with chips that will give them exclusive and secure access to a national, computerized database for crime investigators that went live on Monday.
“It’s an area of high security, it’s necessary that we have access to this, through a chip, which what’s more is unremovable,” Macedo told reporters.
Now that we’ve got the obligatory “Jay Leno” joke out of the way, I’d like to point out this fellow’s usage of the word “unremovable.” Other than his poor sentence structure, this is quite a lie. See, now that he’s told kidnappers (or at least, kidnappers who can read) that the chip is in his arms, you pretty much have to lop his arms off. I mean, they were probably going to chop off his little finger as a message anyway, this just ups the ante a little bit.
Could workMovies aside, this type of bioinformatics could be very effective. Cutting edge eye scanners, for example, now do a preliminary density check on the eyeball to make sure it hasn’t been removed from the head. Implanted chips like the ones mentioned in the article could be placed secretly anywhere on the body. (i.e. the bad guys, possibly even the employees themselves, wouldn’t know which body part the chip is located in) Alternativevly, a series of chips, each with a part of the code, could be used in place of a single chip. Just some thoughts 😛
uhhh.thx prof. sci-fi… thx for MISSING THE POINT
