a microchip
* embedded in a sportswatch to be worn by Alzheimer patients who have a
* tendency to wander. When the patient strays from home, Eagle Eye calls up
* an orbiting satellite, which "interrogates" the patient's microchip to
* determine the patient's position to within the length of a football field.
*
* Sounds protective? Relevance recognizes the bonafide use of this
* technology but we continue to harbor reservations about its potential for
* abuse.
*
* Notably, Eagle Eye Technologies received its initial funding from the
* U.S. government through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
* (DARPA), headed for many years by current Secretary of Defense, William
* Perry. In fact, much of the surveillance technology being introduced in
* the private sector was fostered, funded and even directed by government
* agencies.
*
* Once the utility of tracking Alzheimer's patients was demonstrated, it was
* inevitable that someone would consider applications in children. As
* kidnappings and murders of children gain a higher media profile, we are
* likely to hear calls for the use of child tracking devices. The proposed
* panacea could someday be the implantable microchip.
*
* Incredibly, someone was working on just such a system back in 1989.
* According to the Arizona Republic of July 20th, 1989, inventor Jack
* Dunlap was working on a product known as KIDSCAN, designed to help
* locate children who have been kidnapped or murdered.
*
* The article states: "Each child whose parents signed up for
* KIDSCAN would get a computer chip plant
