My nephew's wife flew to Europe that day without incident.

Well, unless it's part of Project 2025 and a certain D Trump gets
elected.

Some spectators judge that Shriver has issues.

I haven't read that, but that doesn't mean I didn't encounter the
concept of embedded chips somewhere -- oh, wait: /The President's
Analyst/ had it.
 There are quite a few fools who have had chips implanted into their arms so they can do checkout tap-n-pay, open security doors, etc. without having to go to all the "difficultly" of taking a card out of their pocket / lanyard or using a smartwatch.
It /is/ inconvenient when you're moving
around, say, your workplace, and you have
to unlock doors.
Where I work now, I have a stiff plastic
pin-on pocket that I made myself, to display
my ID pass while also being able to lift it
out quickly and tap it on the electronic lock,
which evidently recognises a chip inside
the card.
At a previous place, we had a fob to do
that with - a flattened blob of plastic.
To go from desk to bathroom or kitchen; to
be exact, this was to get back to your desk.
I mounted my fob on a ring, so I could sweep
it past the lock thing while striding up to
and through the door without stopping.
When I worked out a knack of aiming and
timing the presentation of the fob, just so,
the door /usually/ opened - a conventional
handle and latch also were used.
Getting ut close enough, for long enough,
without taking the time to aim precisely,
was the trick.
Implanting it would be I'll say conspicuous.

There have also been a few people with disabilities that have trialed brain implant chips to allow them to regain some abilities. I don't think any have been fully successful, but some have worked better than others (Elon Musk's Neuralink trial "malfunctioned" ... unsurprisingly, just look at his failures with his rockets, his Tesla cars, etc. to know how much of an idiot he is and rushes things out to suit his own looney ideals).
It's an early stage and I don't know what
Elon Musk's brain chips are supposed to give
you, wireless keyboard?
Also this happens:

You don't want "retinal implants" and
"resorted to home repairs" in one news article.
