he confirmed the drift toward human applications of the
*   chip:
*
*            You see there is an identification system made by
*            the Hughes Aircraft Company that you can't lose.
*
*            It's the syringe implantable transponder.
*
*            According to promotional literature it is an
*            "ingenious, safe, inexpensive, foolproof and
*            permanent method of identification using radio
*            waves. A tiny microchip, the size of a grain of
*            rice, is simply placed under the skin. It is so
*            designed as to be injected simultaneously with a

*   system of personal identification, this introduction is likely to begin
*   with the smartcard, and progress to non-implantable, bio-chips attached to
*   the clothing or worn in bracelets.
*
*   In Europe, this system has already been used at track and field events
*   where the competitors wear the device attached to their jersey. This
*   provides their coordinates during each event and can be used for the

*
*   Widespread use among sports figures could go a long

*   Island helped test the military's Smartcard prototype.

*   Eagle Eye Technologies of Herndon, Virginia is marketing a microchip
