Some tech Companies are asking that their employees have an implant that has all the pass codes required to enter and use devices within that company. Would you consent to this ,why or why not?

I wouldn’t. And it really isn’t that secure because anyone with an RFID reader could read the imbedded codes.

Uh No!!
Wouldn’t know what else they could use those implants for,like checking on you when you call in sick?
Could they be used to listen to private conversations?
Could they see where you are on the planet?

Can you provide us with a link to a company who does this?

It is big in “Sweden”:http://mentalfloss.com/article/549130/thousands-swedes-are-replacing-their-id-cards-microchip-implants

In California, a tech worker implanted her valet key to her Tesla into her arm.

No, because it’s evil shit. The evil headquarters of all such companies should be destroyed by commandos ala James Bond with fiery explosions.

Nope. It’s a damn job. It would be like them requiring everyone to get the name of the company tattooed on their forehead to show they were employees.

No for several reasons.
1) It is a security risk. anyone with an reader can pick up the signals and copy them.
2) Any technology we have today will be considered a fossil tomorrow so these implants will need to be removed or replaced.
3) RFID easily enables mission creep. e.g.:You were in the bathroom 11 minutes. Are you having a problem? Are you getting enough fiber? Were you really working on Project X when you were in the break room?
4) Stores will sniff for the signals and use them to target ads.
5) Highway departments will use them like E-Z Pass.

@Dutchess_lll
Read the article in the link that I posted :

Click on the link in my link where it says: “Epicenter is doing exactly that” and it links to that company.
