"Invasive Monitoring of Employees ( chip coming )"


Employers watching employees -- Page One
What's more, employer surveillance of workers and property extends beyond the video screen: The boss can tell just what Web sites you've visited on office computers, the content of e-mail you haven't even sent, even your every move through cell phones equipped with global positioning. And coming soon: Employee identification through biometrics -- measuring such biological components as fingerprints and voice pattern -- as well as grain-of-wheat-sized chips implanted under the skin, turning you, in effect, into an EZPass.

And security measures on the horizon have Maltby concerned. Two security professionals in Cincinnati voluntarily had tiny radio frequency identification chips embedded in their arms -- to forgo carrying worker identification cards. Using such chips for recognition only is harmless enough, says Maltby. But long-term? "It's bad enough some employees have to carry a GPS tracking device in their hands.
The thought of having the device implanted in your body is frightening."
