At the heart of the new screening system is a theory that when people try to conceal their emotions, they reveal their feelings in flashes that Ekman, a pioneer in the field, calls "micro-expressions." Fear and disgust are the key ones, he said, because they're associated with deception.
Disgust? With the way air travel is going these days, disgust is suspect? Hell, nobody would be on the damn planes in that case.

It don't matter if it is active (battery powered , transmitting a signal ) or passive ( obsorbing transmitted power and reflecting a signal back ) it is STILL RFID !!!!!
Worried about big brother reading your chip from orbit get you a Tin foil beanie

With a title like human chips I thought this thread was about Soylent Green. I'm so disappointed.
