Nope? If the reason stated is terror, that seems like a legit reason to me.

Look I see that there is more evil than good done with this stuff, but it's not the stuffs fault.

There are, lithium batteries. The problem is, they outgas and explode. People do not want to implant these batteries, even with a low failrate and detectors.

There were things, e.g. the NorthStar implant, which became EmbediVet. But for aforementioned safety issues, it wasn't even used for cows.

Passive tech is the only thing right now (RFID, NFC)
