Abstract
A capsule, which is resistant to stomach acids, is shaped like a medical pill, and can be orally taken in the same manner. This capsule includes a pair of plastic shells surrounding a circuit board, and, in an alternative embodiment, a microprocessor. The circuit board includes memory circuits for storing personal identification data, which is made available when needed, but which cannot be changed without a code number or word. A battery, an antenna for wireless access, and a metal disk supporting the location of the capsule with metal detectors may be added. A device with such additional features can also be used to identify luggage, to be transported on commercial airliners, as belonging to the holder of the ticket and/or boarding card.
