embedded tracking chips

[elepet]

There was a thread about this about a week ago and I forgot to bookmark or save in any way. Now it's gone the way of all things. Does anyone know where I can find it? A new technology that embeds a chip on products to track what happens to them after they are bought.
Can also be put on documents. I did search but nothing turned up. Thanks

3. Exactly. Look for a slew of "news reports"

about child abductions as a prelude to the new No Child Left Un-Lojacked. :eyes:

4. They only have a range of a few feet.

At present only useful if the scanner is real close. They can't read products in your house from the street - yet.
