VeriChip 

VeriChip are suggesting implantable RFID chips. One of the proposed solutions is to make it more secure to access medical records. The idea is that you have to be there to access the records, because they are secured by the implanted chip.

However, if a thief got near to you, they can record your chip, they can reproduce it. Now they can get access to your records without you.

The equivalent is walking around with your pin number tattooed on your forehead.
