Implantable RFID chips designed for animal tagging are now being used in humans. An early experiment with RFID implants was conducted by British professor of cybernetics Kevin Warwick, who implanted a chip in his arm in 1998. In 2004 Conrad Chase[24] offered implanted chips in his night clubs in Barcelona[25], Spain and in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, to identify their VIP customers, who in turn use it to pay for drinks.
In 2004, the Mexican Attorney General's office implanted 18 of its staff members with the Verichip to control access to a secure data room.[26]
Security experts have warned against using RFID for authenticating people due to the risk of identity theft. For instance a man-in-the-middle attack would make it possible for an attacker to steal the identity of a person in real-time. Due to the resource constraints of RFIDs it is virtually impossible to protect against such attack models as this would require complex distance-binding protocols.[27][28][29][30]
The above is a extract from Wiki so might not be as accurate as could be.
I have heard that once perfected the Radio Frequency identification aka RFID Could be used to track people, by inserting into the Skin and with use of GPS could be used to keep track of anybody the state chooses.
