VeriChip’s “Hugs” Infant Protection System

Information Week reports that VeriChip’s RFID-based “Hugs” Infant Protection System sounded an alarm last week when the parents of an infant tried to take their baby out of the hospital without authorization—security officials were then able to stop the parents before they were able to leave the hospital with the baby.

4. She was murdered in Aruba, so she must be "promiscuous"
Frankly, this thread was not a "must read" for me.
