Human Bar Codes

  Days after 9/11/01, New Jersey surgeon Richard Seelig didn't want to take 
any chances that his body could be lost in a disaster. After seeing the 
firefighters writing their social security numbers on their forearms, he 
knew there must be a better means of I.D. Dr. Seelig became the first human 
to be injected with a Verichip: a tiny radio frequency identification chip 
the size of a grain of rice. Is this the dawn of the human bar code?
