Microchip Implant Gets You Into Baja Beach Nightclub
Want to get into your fave nightclub without the wait? The Baha Beach Club in Barcelona has implemented a microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, that can be injected under your skin. A 10-digit personal number then connects directly to your bank account. PR Manager Steve Van Soest says that the chip costs 125 EU (~$158) with 100 EU (~$126) credited to your account. With your VIP status, not only do you not have to wait in line, you don’t have to pay an entrance fee.
So far the chip is available only at The Baha Beach Club, but the European retail market is also looking into biometric payments. Although the UK Institute For Grocery Distribution’s survey claims that one in 10 teenagers and 1 in 20 adults would be willing to go along with this concept, just thinking about injecting that into our arms gives us chills.

Spoken like a true sheep. Wireless chips under your skin will allow you to be monitored at all times. If you have no objection to such a breach of privacy, you’ll fit in fine at your nearest work camp.

VIP for what? dancing to gay disco music while drinking a $50 bottle of corona? Yeah, I think I’ll pass. Think I’m anti-social? nah, just idiot proof.

No, saying that you’d be monitored at all times is just an assumption. There’s nothing to say it will be tracked, anyway i’m sure the club owner wouldn’t need to track anyone.

“Wireless chips under your skin will allow you to be monitored at all times.”
That’s not true. These things have a very short range of transmission. A scanner would have to be placed near the chip in order to exchange data.

yea go through airport security and try explaining what u have inside your arm or any security point. if it hasnt exploded already, they’ll strip search you. its a good idea though, visa, american express, mastercard and ur passport and your library card, Electronics boutique game card, all inside an arm if it comes to that. when the thieves wanna rob you, they simply chop your arm off. reminds me of total recall, the day when we have all this and women with 3 boobs.

The Department of Defense is planning to implant microchips in soldiers’ brains for monitoring their health information, and has already awarded a $1.6 million contract to the Center for Bioelectronics, Biosensors and Biochips (C3B) at Clemson University for the development of an implantable “biochip”.
Soldiers fear that the biochip, about the size of a grain of rice, which measures and relays information on soldiers vital signs 24 hours a day, can be used to put them under surveillance even when they are off duty.
