Thousands of Mexicans Implanting Tracking Devices

But experts say they are not likely to work

(NEWSER) - With kidnappings up 317% over the last five years—not to mention the disturbing fact that more than 20% of the crimes have allegedly involved police officers or soldiers—scared Mexicans are increasingly turning to a controversial method of protecting themselves: tracking devices. For $2,000 upfront and an additional $2,000 per year, one company will implant a radio-frequency identification chip under the skin, which in turn relays a signal to a GPS device held outside the body. Sales are up 40% over the past two years, says a Xega executive, who claims that clients can still be found even without the GPS unit—and says 178 people have been retrieved over the last 10 years. But experts say the whole enterprise is a sham. More»
