Plans to microchip UK workers spark privacy concerns

The prospect of UK firms implanting their staff with microchips in order to improve security and efficiency has raised concerns among trade unions. Several legal and financial firms in the UK are reportedly in discussions with a company responsible for fitting thousands of people with chips in Scandinavia. The chips, which are about the size of a grain of rice, are usually implanted beneath the skin between the thumb and forefinger and use radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to allow people to replace physical key cards, IDs and even train tickets.
