Applied Digital Solutions, a high-tech company from Palm Beach, USA, announced in a press release on November 10th 2003 that their daughter company Verichip Corporation received an order for 400 implantable chips and 34 scanners. Buyer is the swiss-russian enterprise RussGPS that has an exclusive licence to sell the implantable chip in Switzerland and Russia.

   Security has reached the subcutaneous level for Mexico's attorney general and at least 160 people in his office - they have been implanted with microchips that get them access to secure areas of their headquarters.
  It's a pioneering application of a technology that is widely used in animals but not in humans.

  A Florida company has announced plans to develop a service that would allow consumers to pay for merchandise using microchips implanted under their skin.

  TOKYO - Every time a fourth-grader passes through Rikkyo Elementary School's front gate, a small, gray plastic tag tucked inside his backpack beams a message to a computer in a nearby office.
  The students are oblivious, but the computer logs the time they enter and leave and a security guard watching the screen takes note. Moments later, their parents receive confirmation by e-mail.
