The AP report goes on to discuss the suspect nature of the FDA’s approval of VeriChip’s human RFID implant. The FDA is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Sciences, which at the time of the approval, was headed by Tommy Thompson.
Just two weeks after the Jan. 10, 2005 approval of the device, Tommy Thompson resigned his post with the department, and within five months assumed a position at VeriChip. He received stock options and cash compensation for his newly acquired position.
