RFID is for people too

Today, RFID is optional. People only voluntarily implant themselves with the chips - about the size of a grain of rice, enabling extra convenience in such things as door entry, letting the dog out, secure access and the like. This article says there are about 60 - 80 people that have had RFID chips voluntarily implanted. Some of them are nightclubbers since some European clubs implant their VIPs for identification and convenient charging.

Is Tom Clancy aware of this trend?

I thought these chips were implanted into hands, but the subject of the article says he made himself some PANTS that block the tags for security purposes.
