It would be difficult to "change" data on an RFID ... unless it is in 
the movies:)

However, government control may even force a strictly biometric ID which 
does not require any implant at all and typically could require a 
retinal "fingerprint."

Truly a "brave new world" is coming and not all for the good in my 
judgement.

Sincerely,

Rick W.
