It seems nobody f'ing knows and/or nobody cares. It's a confusing MESS. So far, I have found out that every microchip contains a unique ID# that can be linked to an external database to determine if its purpose serves as a personal ID, for law enforcement purposes, your medical history, etc. It appears that multiple databases may exist.
The launch date of a commercial registry for human microchip implants was set for May 1, 2002. Back then, Applied Digital Solutions wholly owned subsidiary was VeriChip Corp., and they were to launch the Global Verichip Subscriber (GVS) Registry Service. The GVS Registry was hosted and maintained by Digital Angel Corp. operations in Owings, MD. Digital Angel divested itself in 2008. Now it's VeriTeQ, a provider of implantable medical device ID and radiation dose measurement technologies based in Delray Beach, FL.
This was as far as I got before a headache set in.
