Would you carry around an electronic ID,not in your pocket,But in your body? Does this idea scare you or make you feel safe?

The first computer ID chip (芯片) that could be planted under a person's skin might be marketed very soon.

Developed by Applied Digital,an American technology company based in Florida,the device (发明物) could meet the need for public security after the September 11 attacks.

For airports,nuclear power plants (核电站) and other high security facilities,the immediate effects are obvious.

The technology could help put an end to false ID cards,because it would be difficult to remove and copy a tiny computer chip is as small as a grain of rice.

The technology would also allow satellites to track (追踪) a person's every movement and store medical records.

These uses are already attracting interest for tasks like fighting against kidnappings(*),or helping with medical operations.

But some people are afraid of the loss of privacy.

"You always have to think about what the device could be used for tomorrow,"said Lee Tien,a senior privacy lawyer in the United States.

"At first a device is used for applications we all agree are good,but then it slowly starts being used for more than it was intended,"he said.

However,Applied Digital says it will soon apply for government permission for the says that the first people to use the chip will be volunteers.

Getting the implant (需移植的芯片) would go something like this:

A person or company buys the chip from Applied Digital for about US $ the company encodes (编码) it with the desired information.

The customer then takes the chip to their doctor,who can plant it with a large needle.

The device has no power supply,rather it is activated (使活动,使运行) by a scanner (扫描仪) running across the skin above out a scanner,the chip cannot be read.

Even with the privacy concern,some are already eager to use the product.

Jell Jacobs from Florida hopes to become the first buyer of the chip to store his medical ering from a serious illness,he wants to make sure doctors can help him quickly.

Eight Latin American companies have also shown interests in the could help to find any tourists who are kidnapped.
