Get chipped, then charge without plastic – you are the card
“Beautiful club-goers have a problem: If you’re going to wear a halter top and micro-skirt, there’s not much of anywhere to put a wallet. And who wants to carry a purse when you’re there to dance? Luckily, a company called VeriChip this year unveiled a solution based on radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology.”
We’ve heard about it for a while now, although editors were a little skeptical given how sensational (read: ridiculous) this story was. However it seems the rumors are true: Baja Beach Club is implanting expensive transponders into their guests so that they do not have to carry purses.
