Stephen. It's not hard to imagine circumstances where I'd be
quite happy to have one of those chips implanted in me: say,
if I were lost at sea, floating alone in a rubber dinghy way off
the shipping lanes; if I were kidnapped and held for ransom in an
undisclosed location; if I were lost in the Gila Wilderness, etc. etc.
