If this ever took off, wouldn't the government need to standardize the chip's location? Otherwise, how could the cop's find the chip, without doing an outrageously expensive total body scan or X-ray.

I think of how long ago Revelation was written, and how unlikely that a human writer could have known that someday people will be required to have a chip in one of two standardized places in order to buy and sell. It all makes perfect sense, almost 2000 years later.

Just run a scanner close enough to the body and the chip transmits its ID number. I don't know if the range would be in inches or a few feet. Even if inches, it wouldn't take any longer than someone wanding you with a hand held metal detector.
