Why I Implanted an RFID Tag in My Hand

Last weekend I injected an RFID tag into my right hand.

Why?

It was a spur of the moment thing, really.

I was at the Singularity University Summit in Amsterdam, and an hour before I spoke, Raymond McCauley, Chair of SU’s Biotechnology & Bioinformatics Track, had an RFID tag inserted into his hand—live on stage.

The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag was an xNT chipset encased in a 2x12 mm cylindrical biocompatible glass housing. It was super small — about the size of a grain of rice — and injected subcutaneously. The entire process took less than 3 minutes and looked pretty simple, so when I was offered the chance to do the same, I agreed.

The pain was minimal, a 3 out of 10, and left a small puncture wound and a bit of soreness that kept me from shaking hands for 24 hours.

The purpose for embedding such an RFID tag is still up for grabs. So, again, why do this?

In the near term, implanted devices like the xNT RFID will enable seamless interaction with the Internet of Everything (IoT) around us. Unlock doors with a wave of your hand, start your car, or perhaps pay for a coffee with bitcoin stored in memory.

But honestly, for me it’s much more of an experiment: How would I feel about having tech inserted inside my body?

BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. – Col. Paul Tibbets IV, Air Force Global Strike Command deputy director of operations, was certified to fly the B-52H Stratofortress bomber here today, making him one of a select number trained to fly all three U.S. Air Force bomber platforms.

He flew the B-1 Lancer and B-2 Spirit bombers during previous assignments.

"This is not an accomplishment many achieve," said 93rd Bomb Squadron B-52 Formal Training Unit commander Lt. Col. James Morriss. "The bomber pilot community is small and most stay with one bomber platform."

Col. Tibbets is also the grandson of Brig. Gen. Paul Tibbets Jr., who was best known for his atomic mission in a B-29, the "Enola Gay", during World War II. Gen. Tibbets also flew 25 combat missions in the B-17, to include the first American Flying Fortress raid against occupied Europe. His B-17 Flying Fortress was decorated with the nose art "Red Gremlin."

As a tribute to the Tibbets family, the "Red Gremlin II" nose art has been placed on the B-52 that Col. Tibbets will land Thursday to mark his family's legacy.

"Col. Tibbets' heritage is the heritage of the Air Force and the long range strike mission," said Col. Jonathan Ellis, 307th Bomb Wing commander. "This is an opportunity to honor the legacy of our deterrence mission, past and present."

"My grandfather had a passion for aviation and most specifically, bombers," Col. Tibbets said. "It is a privilege to follow in the footsteps of my hero and to fly the nose art that my grandfather flew in 1942. I am honored to play a small part in keeping his legacy alive today!"

Col. Tibbets is a command pilot with more than 3,800 flying hours.
