Yeah, sure. It sounds like more of a plausible excuse to install RFID
chips in the gullible masses and it still won't stop mistakes being

I know of a case in the UK where a guy went into hospital to have his

was to be amputated and "NOT this one!" on the other leg.
Unbelievably, the surgeon still managed to remove the wrong leg! :-(
