MEXICO CITY, Mexico (Reuters) -- 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. --- I know there've been parents wanting to get GPS chips implanted in kids. I'm curious how people view the safety vs privacy issue here. I'm of two minds. I think of how the hostage thing might have played out if foreign workers in Iraq had them... And although no one is talking about preventative tracking (like the Probies in _Sundiver_) yet, I expect the idea will occur to a politician eventually... -Amanda _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
