This is an example of a tiny transponder implant that is slipped under the skin using a canular. The mini-radio ID - the numbers are compatible with the pet microchip schemes and ISO 11784/5.

This route can give you an "official" number even if you are not into the SM scene.

Other options include other Body Mod implants (steel beads under the foreskin for example) this have meaning because 'He' put them there.

Getting the Implant ^

This is a miniaturized, implantable radio frequency identification device (RFID) that has the potential to be used in a variety of security, financial, and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each transponder contains a unique verification number and will be available in several formats. The verification number is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the transponder. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant transponder, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number.

How it Works ^

An implantable, 12mm by 2.1mm radio frequency device, transponder is about the size of the point of a typical ballpoint pen. It contains a unique verification number. Utilizing an external scanner, radio frequency energy passes through the skin energizing the dormant transponder, which then emits a radio frequency signal containing the verification number. The number is displayed by the scanner and transmitted to a secure data storage site by authorized personnel via telephone or Internet.

Other Uses ^


Security Identification

In the security field, the company is actively developing applications for transponder in a variety of security, defence, homeland security and secure-access applications. These opportunities include using transponder to control authorized access to government installations and private-sector buildings, nuclear power plants, national research laboratories, correctional facilities, and sensitive transportation resources. transponder can enhance airport security, airline security, cruise ship security, intelligent transportation and port congestion management. In these markets, transponder could function as a stand-alone, tamper-proof personal verification technology or it could operate in conjunction with other security technologies such as standard ID badges and advanced biometric devices (i.e. retina scanners, thumbprint readers or face recognition devices). The Veri-Chip Company recently unveiled VeriPass(tm) and VeriTag(tm), which will allow airport and port security personnel to link a transponder subscriber to his or her luggage (both during check-in and on the airplane), flight manifest logs and airline or law enforcement software databases. The concept of using transponder as a means for secure access could also be extended to include a range of consumer products such as PCs, laptops, cars, cell phones, and even homes and apartments.

Financial Identification

In the financial arena, the company sees enormous, untapped potential for transponder as a personal verification technology that could help to curb identity theft and prevent fraudulent access to banking (especially via ATMs) and credit card accounts. transponder's tamper-proof, personal verification technology would provide banking and credit card customers with the added protection of knowing their accounts could not be accessed unless they themselves initiated -- and were physically present during -- the transaction.
