Microchip implant for boarding pass

I can't see this catching on in a big way but you never know:

Why? I'd rather they chipped my suitcase, but they wouldn't be able to steal my personal data - the shops and restaurants I visit, how long I spend in the toilets. My dwell time in the lounge, etc.

They ain't doing it for us.

Daily Fail and Inquisitr working hard together to get almost nothing right. What's the chance that Andreas Sjöström, in a one-off trial with SAS at Stockholm Arlanda Airport, isn't Dutch? Can't even steal a story from the Daily Telegraph right.

It looks like technology desperately looking for an application... Have also heard about a bar trial where implants could be used for payment, didn't take off.

One thing I hope is that one does not end up with 17 different implants, one for each application, like the stack of plastic you carry in your wallet now.

I think the Smartphone has already won this battle. Even if you need one app per carrier, it's easier than plastic or injecting yourself with plastic.

I'm with PAXboy. But for a different reason. It is easier to forge a chip than it is a person so let the body be the identity and not the chip. Smartphone technology such as the fingerprint recognition system in the iPhone means that you identify yourself to a device which in turn identfies you to a system. More complicated to forge. And I agree with the poster who said stick the chips on suitcases.
