Son #1 saw that on the news. He has a tendency to worry about things like that really happening.

I can see it happening. Can you imagine the merry chase we could give them though?

I am sure you are right dear Pat. Maybe they won't worry about us old farts...older women but I am betting that in a very few years people will be walking around with all sorts of ID chips and little robots in their blood streams and all sorts of unheard of stuff. Mind you, when I had an escapee from the nursing home...do we now call it a senior citizen facility? anyway, back when, a GPS chip would have helped find a couple of run aways much quicker and saved them from being in harms way.

I expect some would find a way of manipulating the implant Pat. The girl in a bank asked a neighbour if he had any proof of identity . He said yes I know the three customers behind me waiting to be served.

One must take care in making jokes to a large and varied audience.
Possibly even refrain altogether, when the joke taken wrong is a spark to a pile of tinder.
It is hard to trust in a world that rewards lying.
