...plans for its little device. In the next few years, it wants to add sensors that will read your vital signs--pulse, temperature, blood sugar and so on--and a satellite receiver that can track where you are. The company makes a pager-like gadget called Digital Angel that does both those things, and its engineers are doing their darnedest to cram Digital Angel's functions into a package small enough to implant. Once they do, VeriChip will be very powerful indeed. That's one of the reasons the Jacobses want to get involved. "There are endless possibilities," says Derek...
Security is part of the VeriChip business plan. The company has already signed a deal with the California department of corrections to track the movements of parolees using Digital Angel.

They are victims of a regime that in 2001 was rated by Freedom House as one of the most repressive in the world —worse than Libya and Syria, worse even than China. They have been arrested for “disrespect,” for “dangerousness...
...matter of fact, it's getting pretty good after my stroke. I did two things after my stroke, [the film] Diamonds and a segment of Touched by an Angel. Now I'm looking forward to doing a movie with my son Michael and my grandson Cameron--three generations. We have a script that we're working on. We'll probably shoot it in March, after I come back from my book tour in Europe...
