No chips for me!

Well, for the last few years I've been telling people about the RFID chip that can be placed under the skin and can hold tons of info about you. I was surprised how many people had never heard of this. Now it seems it is making its way into the mainstream.
I read this article this morning and you can see a snippet of it here:
With a wave of his hand, Amal Graafstra, a 29-year-old entrepreneur based in Vancouver, Canada, opens his front door. With another, he logs onto his computer. ...end...

I've been waiting for this to come out in the media. It's already been used with the military and some high tech companies. My first thought when I started reading the article was this will only be affordable for rich people. As I continued to read I saw that it was rather inexpensive. I find it pretty strange that for a chip and device that will allow me to open my door simply by waving my hand cost about the same as the remote I need to replace for my TV. What!? You're telling me this will only cost me $52 to open my door. Guess that's how their going to get it quickly into the mainstream. Personally, I won't be putting this under my skin.

Think about it, a thief can either steal my keys to break into my house or steal my hand. Now your thinking "yeah like anyone would do that". Here is the thing, eventually they will be able to put your banking info on it so you can swipe your hand at the ATM. Now the thief won't be stealing your wallet or bank statements, he'll be taking your hand. No thanks, I like my hand right where it is. Not to mention the biblical mark of the beast. Really, before you run out and get this implanted in you think about it, is it necessary?
