"Are we really using them as the poster child of groups in need of protection from big brother?"

How about DWI/DUI offenders (another favorite of so many lobbying/voting chicks)--no, arrestees--and go from there. ...or debtors. Expose their whereabouts with public advertisements, and stick the implants in their brains (or maybe in the walls of their aortas).

The same could work for investor-thieves like Martha.

I know you say this sarcastically, but these are the people who ought to get the first implants. Marth would have thought twice about using insider information if she knew that all of her actions (and ideally, her intent as well, as this was an issue at trial) would be recorded for the future use of investigators at SEC. Market transparency is a classic example of where this technology would show great potential.
