RFID OK for Babies and Elderly SO Why Not Sexual Predators?

Boing Boing: Former Bush official signs up for RFID implant.

Tommy Thompson former Wisconsin Governor and former Secretary of Health and Human Services Secretary has volunteered to be tagged according to Boing Boing. It seems Thompson is on the Board of Applied Digital who owns VeriChip, a RFID vendor and presumably he is doing this to make us all feel more comfortable about human applications of RFID technology. Thompson mentions usage for elderly nursing home residents and babies in hospitals but not sexual predators. Too bad.
