Singularity/Apocalypse Near

From "The Wireless Report"--

In what has been classified as the first known instance of this practice in the U.S., CityWatcher.com has embedded RFID chips in two employees in order to control access to a room where security video footage is held. The company provides security cameras and digital video storage services for government agencies and the police. The chips were implanted in the upper right arms of the employees and then flashed in front of a reader to gain access to the aforementioned room.

Let me be the first to say that this is fucking awesome. I saw a post on Metafilter a few weeks ago about how a guy had implanted one in his own arm, but the fact that companies are asking their employees to do it takes us just that much closer to lamb of god time.
