 What is Verichip
Verichip is an implantable radio frequency device that is about the size of a ballpoint pen.
The verichip is dormant under the skin until this external scanner passes radio frequency energy to it energizing the chip, which then emits a radio frequency signal containing the identification number of the chip.
They see verichip as a fully functional theft-proof, counter-fit proof ID. One suggestion they have made, which is very realistic after the September 11, 2001 attacks, is having airline crews wear one to prevent the possibility of terrorists entering the cockpit.
