Implanted Travel Card Banned?!

20th March 2018/in Gadgets / Tech /by billywright

A man called Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow has had his implanted travel card deactivated and that sucks.

Hailing from New South Wales, Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow, a biohacker by trade, found out that after a recent trip to the US that his implanted travel card was deactivated. So, as it’s embedded in hid skin under his left hand, he’s kind of stuck.

He plans to file a lawsuit against New South Wales transport authorities, to help create laws around body-hacking technology. (Plus he wants his travel card back)

Side note: alongside his implanted travel card he also has a chip inside his body that stores all his important documents.

He told the Australian Associated Press:

“This is case law in creation and it’s fun to be at the centre of this….this is a scenario so unusual that their lawyers never foresaw this happening because, if they did, they would have written it in there.”

Implanted travel card: lockdown

The authorities took the decision to deactivate Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow’s card after huge media attention in April of 2017. However, there was light at the end of the tunnel, all be it momentarily for Meow Meow. As the travel card wasn’t registered to him, he was able to use the card for almost a year! (Despite having to swipe his palm over the scanner more than once to get it to work)

Final lockdown for the card came after he travelled back to Australia. In an ironic twist of fate, authorities finally turned off his terminator oyster card after he had attended a cyborg convention in the US. The event was all about “regulation and cyborg rights”

Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow isn’t new getting into travel based trouble either. As in March he was in court in Sydney challenging a $200 fine for travelling without a valid ticket.
