VeriChip Corporation Launches National ``Get Chipped'' Promotion
Applied Digital Solutions today announced the launch of a national promotion for VeriChip, a subdermal personal verification microchip. Today's announcement comes two days after the Company issued a press release describing a ruling by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that VeriChip is not a regulated medical device "for security, financial, and personal identification/safety applications." In the financial arena, VeriChip can be used as a personal verification technology that could help to prevent fraudulent access to banking (especially via ATMs) and credit card accounts. VeriChip's tamper-proof, personal verification technology can provide banking and credit card customers with the added protection of knowing their accounts could not be accessed unless they themselves initiated -- and were physically present during -- the transaction. :: This Business Wire/Yahoo report is submitted for your mark of the beast (Rev 13:16-18) files. :: Ok, so it is not the actual mark of the beast, which could take many forms, but isn't it interesting that the technology for it (assuming it is technology and not merely a tattoo) is here...today. Got chip?
