Ed. note: To me, this is not the universal-financial chip in the right hand or forehead known as the mark of the beast with the world's leader's name, number (666) nor with his image.
But still , it is too close for comfort for me. I wouldn't take it.

Medchip not the same as financial chip in rt. hand or forehead
About the size of a grain of rice, the microchip is implanted in the triceps area between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm. Inserting the chip involves a brief, painless procedure using local anesthetic, and once under the skin, the VeriChip [ actually this is a medchip ] is invisible to the naked eye, the companies said.

Ed. note: adsx uses the term "veriChip" very loosely to mean any rfid chip that is subdermally placed in humans. If adsx was more forthright and honest, they would admit that there are several different forms of this subdermal chip, and each one should be called by its technical application.
There is a medchip ( subdermal ) placed in the arm for medical, health purposes only.
There is a security-chip (subdermal) placed in the arm for access into areas of security, buildings, etc.

As of this date ( October 13th, 2004) there has never been an actual financial-VeriChip placed in
the right hand or forehead of anyone publicly. This refers even to those of the Baja Beach Club whose patrons received a stored-value rfid debit chip in their arm ( or anywhere) with limited capacity and it is not for ALL global financial transactions. The Baja chip is not associated with the 666 economic system. The rfid chip in their arm is no different than an rfid chip in a key fob. All of those rfid chips have limited abilities and are not universally applied, nor are they associated with the world leader (beast).

Standardization of RFID chips (for recycling, etc.)
Developed by the AIM North America Standards Action Group under the umbrella of the AIM Global Standards Action Group and the AIM Global RFID Action Group, the mark is a distinctive pattern containing a unique two-character code that defines the type of transponder and data. The first character indicates the frequency and coding ability and the second character indicates the data content and/or structure.

Because of the international nature of business today, it's important to have
a single standard for identifying RFID-enabled labels, tags, and packages
that can be used and recognized around the world. "There's no international recycling logo standard, for example, and different countries use different symbols to identify logos, which means that a company selling products in those countries must use the local recycling symbol," says Dick Sorenson, AIM's North American standards committee chair and director of product management for LXE. "What AIM has done is provided a single, globally-acceptable standard, and the AIM RFID mark will avoid this unnecessary complexity."
