This Popular Science article tells us about a proposed law in Washinton state thae would preclude employers......
........from requiring employees to have microchips implanted under their skin so that they can be identified and tracked. I live in Washington and find this comforting as back in the 1980's I worked for an Architectural firm in Spokane that had a partner who became maniacal about tracking employee hours and office costs and billing them to the appropriate project. I say maniacal because we're talking 15 minute segments of time, single sheets of velum and entering project codes into the copy machine. After our second staff meeting run by an outside consulting firm, where two somewhat robotic women explained all the new procedures, I decided to come in early, write a memo to all the staff, detailing that we were to sign up for appointment for a "S.M.I." with the consultants in the next two days. The memo went on to explain that the "Subcutaneous Microchip Implantation" was relatively painless, would located behind their ear and would leave no meaningful mark that could not be hidden by combing one's hair a little differently for a while. I left a copy on everyone drafting table before the office opened and then went out for a coffee. I did not admit to doing this to anyone and no one ever asked. The five partners in the firm were stymied because there were at least half a dozen of us who could be considered suspects. Though one of the Junior Partners walked by my desk that afternoon and winked at me.
