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.

When our workplace went to prox cards instead of punch-in combos, I
found that, if my wallet was oriented properly in my back pocket, I
could open the door by getting my butt close enough to it.

To amazed onlookers, I explained that I had had the prox card
surgically implanted. None of them reacted to the joke.

Tax collectors, of course, are not noted for their sense of humor.
