I dunno what to think, really. It doesn't bother me too much. I can see it making robberies at banks and gas stations and whatnot a little easier to solve, especially if they implanted a small device that tracked every chip that entered and left convenience stores and whatnot. Coupled by video-cameras, all they'd have to do is match the number on the chip with the culprit dashing out (or entering before the heist) the enterance of the place at that moment on the video.
Or am I reading too much into this?

That is precisely what worries me, though. They will tout them as a way to stop crime and such, but it will also be tracking what us law abiding citizens do, where we go, who we talk to...have you ever read the book 1984? If not, I'd suggest giving it a read. Veeery interesting stuff there.
