This guy implanted an RFID chip in his hand.

“Well, the RFID chip is finally in. Now it’s time to get on with buying a house that I can deck out with RFID sensors. But, probably before I get a chance to do that, I’m going to put a sensor in my car door. One small step for hand, one giant leap for keyless entry.

A Flickr photo set of the operation is available.

Editors will try to follow up.
