      It’s a chip under the skin. This is a kind of replacement for a passport and possibly a smartphone, so to speak, a budget option. And this chip would allow citizens to be tracked at all times. Now this sounds like complete nonsense, but when there is a collapse for example, this could be introduced as some kind of salvation.
