1) It's a real pisser if it gets cloned.  I suspect that VeriChip and
    the like are much easier to insert than to remove.

2) Volunteering for such an act will serve to make it more acceptable
    for companies to request such a maneuver and later require it.  That
    is, it lowers the inherent social benefit (ie: "hey, people -like-
    this!").

You're a human being; don't offer to let your employer treat you like
livestock just because it's convenient.
