Watch the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Drumhead". DNA sequencing to smuggle data's been covered already! I bet the CIA's been doing this for a while.

You would be unbelievably amazed at the crazy-ass shit engineers did with computers and electronics in the 60s.

Precisely. Meanwhile, 15 years after the FDA finally approves it, nobody will be selling it because Christian fundamentalists, who by then will have completely taken over the country, will decry its use as an abomination against God.

I look forward to seeing this clear FDA trials in 48 years.

If you haven't come to terms with the fact that you lost control of your own life a long time ago, then you're only fooling yourself. Not having a facebook, google, etc. account only makes it slightly more difficult for corporations to profit off you. It doesn't prevent it from a long shot.
