RFID tattoos: Way scarier than that 'Snakes on a Plane' tattoo
RFID is kind of scary. It's in our passports now, allowing people to skim info from us in airports. Companies are gonna start sticking them in employee badges, allowing them to be tracked throughout a building. And now you can get an RFID tattoo permanently making you trackable by anyone who's so inclined.
This update to the always-creepy barcode tattoo will allow your "signal" to be picked up from up to a meter away. Currently researchers at Somark Innovations have gotten their special ink working on cows, rats, and mice, and you know that we're next. Just remember this when you join the army and they want you to get a tattoo for "solidarity." And tracking, big brother. Yikes.

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

RFID on or in humans will be mandatory, eventually. Its part of the plan for 'change' to the 21st century economy. Those who don't go along with the 'change' will be marginalized, villianized, and criminalized. In fact, this is already happening!
