C'mon Gary, why would anyone want to bother with all of this crap? Chip implants are already in millions of pets. It's simple, cheap, and there's no work for the owner.
I would really like to see some statistics on the number of "lost children" who have suffered (any given incommodation) exclusively due to their inability to be positively linked with some True Idendity. Most of the English-speaking children with which I'm aquainted can answer the question "What's your name?".
Not my point. My point is, you make sure the chips are deep enough that they can't be removed without removing a great deal of body mass (and probably killing the subject). The chip also has to be monitorable externally, so that a number of transponders or whatever positioned in many different places can isolate each chip and ID it, much like police do with auto licence plates. This way, it's vastly more difficult (or impossible) to operate the so-called white-slave rings now sponsored by various elitist groups and protected by corrupt police authorities.
