A Florida company has announced plans to develop a service that would allow
consumers to pay for merchandise using microchips implanted under their skin.
<http://www.adsx.com>Applied Digital Solutions CEO Scott Silverman said he
believes the company's
<https://gvsregistry.4verichip.com/index.htm>VeriChip -- a subdermal
microchip that uses radio frequency signals to broadcast an identification
number to a scanner -- could someday replace credit cards. Under
Silverman's plan, rather than swiping a bank card to make purchases,
micro-chipped customers would scan themselves using special readers.
