Spy chips in false teeth
p2pnet.net News:- Riffing has reached new heights.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices keep track of product inventories, for example. Or people.
And the FDA recently gave the medical profession permission to plant spy-chips into people, although the chips present health risks, says CASPIAN’s (Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering) Katherine Albrecht.
Now a French firm is riffing false teeth.
According to Dentalax, says the RFID Journal, there’s a, “significant advantage in deploying RFID in the dental prosthetics manufacturing process.
“Every prosthesis technician knows how much of their time is taken up filling in paper documents and that there is always a risk of human error,’ ceo Rémy-Jean Cachia is quoted as saying.
A dentist makes an initial cast of a patient’s teeth and then sends it to the laboratory where technicians use it to make a second cast. Before the second cast hardens, a PicoPass chip is embedded in it.
“Once the plaster or resin used to make the die has cured, the tag is locked inside the material,” says the report. “Throughout the prosthesis manufacturing process, each time an operation is carried out on the prosthesis, that action is recorded on the chip inside the die by the technician using a PC fitted with a RFID reader.
“Using an INSIDE reader attached via a USB connection to a PC running the Dentalax system, an operator can check the identity of the die by reading the embedded chip as well as record in the chip’s memory all the work carried out on the prosthesis.”

So what’s the advantage for the patient getting a new teeth?
None.
It helps the bureaucracy of dentists who wants to avoid paperwork.
It’s so much simpler if they can just poll the teeth for information.
Of course, while you’re at it, why not embed other practical information
like a unique customer number, your credit card number, your medical history…
Best of all you can’t remove it without loosing your teeth.
Meanwhile, people with readers on the street can receive that information…
Got a gold teeth? No need to check your mouth to know it.
Stupid lazy bureaucracy people…

these chips can be placed in any filling too. The newer porcelean type filings are preferable but its happening, amybe in millions of cases. Best have yourself scanned…also, the chips, can be destroyed the way any microchip can be, magnets & esd will do it.
