Wisconsin Company Pilots RFID-Microchip Implants for Employees
You can’t forget your ID if it’s implanted in your hand.
That’s certainly an option for employees at Wisconsin vending machine company Three Square Market, where about 50 employees have agreed to an optional implant of a microchip (roughly the size and shape of a grain of rice) between their forefinger and thumb, according to Reuters.
