US firm implants microchip in employees www3.nhk.or.jp
Some employees at an IT company in the US state of Wisconsin are having a microchip that contains personal information implanted in their hands.
The chip allows employees to open doors and log onto computers by simply waving their hand.
Workers can also buy products from in-house stores.
About half of the company's 80 employees agreed to voluntarily implant the microchip with the prick of a needle.
Officials at the firm say this is the first such endeavor in the US.
Some employees were reluctant about implanting a foreign object in their hand and wanted to know more about the long-term health effects.
Experts in the information security field are also worried the technology could be used to track and monitor people in the future.
