Journal windowpain's Journal: Couple Gets His and Hers RFID Implants

CTV is reporting that Jennifer Tomblin, 23, of Vancouver, Canada and Amal Graafstra, 29, of Washington state have gotten underskin RFID implants as a 'most modern declaration of their affection for each other.' Graafstra bought the chips from Phidgets USA, although the company 'strongly advise(s) against any such use of the tags we sell,' according to the story. Tomblin compares getting implants to getting tattoos as a unique way of connecting with her significant other. It may be an expression of true love or maybe it's just a stunt to promote Graafstra's new book RFID Toys.
