What will be the rules about having it on your person? Can a computer chip make you GPS trackable?

What do they mean by “biometric”...so many questions.

Computer chip is not trackable by GPS but it can be used to check your passage by established sensor sites, just like a toll road transponder.

Biometric means identifiable using some unique personal body characteristic like a fingerprint, iris scan, retina scan, facial recognition scan, or for democrats, absence of a detectable brain scan.

Can a computer chip make you GPS trackable?

Fair question - no. You need to have a transmitter and a battery to do this. It takes considerable power to provide this information; most of your cell phone is battery - any chip would need to have a large and continuously rechargeable battery to keep track of you over your life.

What do they mean by “biometric”

Good question. Biometric means that "You" are measured. It can be a measurement of your fingerprints, perhaps a retina scan, or something like Disney uses for Seasonal Pass holders. They take a biometric reading of your right hand - specifically the index and middle finger. This could be measurements of your finger bones, ratio of bones to knuckles, overall length of fingers, ratio between fingers, ratio of joints to joints. It's possible your sister or cousin may "look" like you; but does her hand match yours in this regard? Biometrics use these things that are unique to you - and incorporate them into your personal ID. As we age, or grow; these ratios tend to stay pretty consistent.
