BBC Radio Scotland - Mornings, With Kaye Adams

The TUC and the CBI have expressed concerns over the prospect of British companies implanting staff with microchips to improve security.  UK firm BioTeq, which offers the implants to businesses and individuals, has already fitted 150 implants in the UK.  The tiny chips, similar to those for pets, enable people to open their front door, access their office or start their car with a wave of their hand, and can also store medical data
Would you be happy to be microchipped?
