I wonder sometimes if the idiots running this country have thought out their 
idea of microchipping everybody for identification purposes.  They won't say
it (yet) but that's their goal.  It would become very easy for a hostile entity
to identify secret agents, wouldn't it?  The person has an ID chip, he's an
American agent, and boom, he *was* an American agent.  Chip readers are
not really high tech, and they're cheap enough that most every veterinarian
around here has one.
