Japanese telecom company NTT is soon to launch a product that transmits data via your body, effectively turning you into a touch-technology swipe card. RedTacton is a card-like gadget that you simply carry anywhere on your person, and it transmits data via electric fields— a world's first according to NTT.So you can open an office door keylessly, unlock and start your car, or any of a million other applications currently using swipe-card entry.

Applications could include a walk-through ticket gate, a cabinet that opens only to authorized people and a television control that automatically chooses favorite programs.

It's clearly more convenient than having to fish out a conventional card, and more secure than a wireless device whose signal could be snooped on. NTT even foresees medical applications in the future, since the system could easily and discretely transmit health-sensor data to doctors and nurses as they touch you during exams.

Awesome, but if you lose your card/get it stolen you're fucked.

Microchip embedded in your fingertip = win tbh.

those crazy japs. What will they think of next

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

FAil idea is fail. If I wanted to gain access to your car, account, g/f, etc, I'd chop your finger off

G/f that made me lol.
Stealing keys/credit card = easier than chopping finger off, imo, but still +1
