And so the panic measures start: Kevin "Captain Cyborg" (so called because he specialises in designing implants and installing them in his own body) Warkwick has been recieving emails from concerned parents asking about RFID tags for kids. He, of course, is listening to the concerns, and thinks the industry could take off this year. Same as he did with the Soham murders.

Still, Michelle Elliot, director of Kidscape sums up my own feelings..

"We have 11 million children in the UK. For the past 25 years between five and seven children have been abducted and killed by a stranger each year, and that has not changed. Are we becoming paranoid to the point where we give children the message that life is so dangerous that they have to be tagged?"
