That may be, but I do see the Jewish people (especially Hasidic and other
Orthodox types) being quite resistant to that. WW2 saw them being tattooed
so they could be kept track of in the concentration camps. While certainly
SR happens 100 years after that, It's doubtful that any survivors will let
their children's children forget.

At any rate, I think it certainly would be an interesting idea, but, as you
can prolly tell, I'm rather against the idea, and as such, it will never
appear in my games. ;)

Implanted chips, however.... *grin*
