I'm not so much worried about the idea of the NSA coming and using this data as I am about insurance companies wanting access to it. Right now they are doing this with cars where they want to put this "snapshot" thing into the OBD II port and that allows them to know how you drive, where you drive, what the radio is on if you're touching it, etc...that's a lot of data I don't think they should have. Now with these pill computers Blue Cross Blue Shield or Etna will have this same power where they will be able to get the data from the doctor or the pill and allow them unfettered access to my health, that's just creepy to me.
