Bruce Sterling, in Wired’s ARPHID Watch says:

*I’m surprised that Verichip didn’t think to promote this scheme themselves.

*People are reacting with predictable shock, shock, (((none more gleefully than

io9, presumably because the puckish editor’s got a Verichip in her))) but the “invention” here is dead simple: in principle, it’s an electronic parole device with a roadside IED bomb attached to it. They’re recast as an imaginary “GPS chip” and an imaginary cyanide dispenser. Both of those somehow both fit under the hides of undesirables.
