Could the VeriChip implant be used to prevent kidnappings, find hikers lost in the woods, or rescue captured soldiers?
No. The VeriChip system is not an “eye in the sky” that can remotely pinpoint someone’s location. The read range on a VeriChip implant is only about six to eighteen inches, so a scanner would have to be very close to a chipped person to read his or her implanted chip. Not only could a VeriChip not be scanned from a satellite, it couldn’t even be scanned from across a room. It could, however, be read by scanners placed in doorways as chipped people pass through.
