William A. Pierce, an HHS spokesman, could not say whether VeriChip and its accompanying secure database of medical records fit within that initiative. "Exactly what those technologies are is still to be sorted out," Pierce said. "It all has to respect and comport with the privacy rules."

A Chip In The Money Game
The company says the tiny "meu-chip" can be
embedded into paper in order to help authenticate a document, such as currency
or business contracts. The chip itself is a 0.4-millimeter square with a
thickness of only 60 microns (one micron is one millionth of a meter). When
connected to a tiny antenna, it can transmit a radio signal of about 30
centimeters. That's close enough for an external chip reader to determine if the
paper that the chip is embedded into is authentic or not.
