Video surveillance firm Citywatcher.com has embedded rice-grain size RFID chips in the forearms of the CEO and another employee volunteer. The company is testing the effectiveness of RFID as an access control technology. Because the chips are passive, they don't allow an employer to track workers' movements. The goal is to experiment with chips to identify workers with access to vaults where data and images are stored.
