'''VeriChip''' is a subdermal, radio frequency identification (]) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. The standard location of the microchip is in the ] area between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm. The brief outpatient "chipping" procedure lasts just a few minutes and involves only local anesthetic followed by quick, painless insertion of the VeriChip. Once inserted just under the skin, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number. This number can be used to identify the implanted individual by consulting a registry maintained by the corporation. |

In October ], the ] (FDA) ruled that VeriChip is not a regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification/safety applications but that VeriChip's healthcare information applications are regulated by the FDA. |

Many of America's Christian leaders have come out against the device, as they consider it may be (or might be the fore-runner to) the ] (666) that will be present during the End of Times. For more information, see ]. |

However it is not only US Christian groups that have expressed grave concern; the existence and application of the Verichip has troubled many across the world who regard it is a pre-cursor to, or the beginning of a global security and tracking device, perhaps part of a cashless surveillance society or ] type scenario. |
