I put a chip in my niece

I overheard this today on my way walking to work:

 "Yea, my niece got a chip put in her so they can finally track her"

I just thought that was weird, did she have a say in the chip being placed in her skin? Is this common? And what does "finally track her" mean. Have they been loosing here often? Maybe I heard wrong?

So after some researching, it looks like there are actual companies that will implant you with a chip:

http://www.verichipcorp.com/  <--- RFID for people, is the slogan
 

Maybe I am seeing the glass half-empty, I mean if I get kidnapped people can locate me, If there is an accident, people can locate me...etc.  So who knows, if I implant myself w/ a chip Ill tell everyone how my experience goes.

I've been thinking about this for a long time. If you get a chip implanted in you, it should have a GPS monitoring device in it so your social patterns can be recorded. That we sociologists can study your movements like biologists study merecats in Africa. Just don't go anywhere embarrassing!
