*   Eagle Eye Technologies of Herndon, Virginia is marketing a microchip
*   embedded in a sportswatch to be worn by Alzheimer patients who have a
*   tendency to wander. When the patient strays from home, Eagle Eye calls up
*   an orbiting satellite, which "interrogates" the patient's microchip to
*   determine the patient's position to within the length of a football field.
*   
*   Sounds protective? Relevance recognizes the bonafide use of this
*   technology but we continue to harbor reservations about its potential for
*   abuse.
*   
*   Notably, Eagle Eye Technologies received its initial funding from the
*   U.S. government through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
*   (DARPA), headed for many years by current Secretary of Defense, William
*   Perry. In fact, much of the surveillance technology being introduced in
*   the private sector was fostered, funded and even directed by government
*   agencies.
*   
*   Once the utility of tracking Alzheimer's patients was demonstrated, it was
*   inevitable that someone would consider applications in children. As
*   kidnappings and murders of children gain a higher media profile, we are
*   likely to hear calls for the use of child tracking devices. The proposed
*   panacea could someday be the implantable microchip.
*   
*   Incredibly, someone was working on just such a system back in 198
