Touch me, I'm sick (with data)

Not sufficiently irradiated by Bluetooth? Consider the latest in wireless technology: the Firmo, a device that transmits data all over the surface of the human body. (Why yes, it is Japanese.) It consists of a transmitter card (carried in a user's pocket), which converts data into a weak electric field that streams across said user. It's biggest potential application is supposedly securitywhere it would take the place of an ID badgebut we're just afraid "Wanna trade data points?" is about to become a pick-up line.
