You don't think RFiD technology could advance to the point of GPS? Nano technology, Satellite technology and Bio mechanics are amazing and they are always improving!

By in it's early stages I mean in terms of human use. I thought that was clear? I could still be wrong though but I've only heard of it being used in humans in recent years and in terms of human use it is an exciting new technology that is forever finding new applications.
At only 4x4x2.1mm, the OriginGPS Nano Spider is now the smallest fully integrated GPS receiver in the world.

It appears that you are underestimating our technological capability!
There are many striking similarities to the idea of RFiD and what was described in the Bible centuries ago. Whether you believe the Bible to be true, and/or RFiD chips to be the mark of the beast, or even if the mark of the beast exists or not, you must be able to see the similarities!

...too late to edit my last post, apologies.
I can actually imagine an implanted device being accepted by the 'plugged-in' masses after some thought, especially if its verification entitles one to free downloads/data, reduced banking charges, VIP entry at nightclubs or whatever.
Yes, I can certainly imagine it but I'll start being concerned when 'the masses' start buying into something like that.
Removal of anonymity in cash transactions will have to come come first in my opinion, with mobile phone and contactless card payment becoming the norm for small amounts. Then the premium implant could be marketed as the most convenient/easy/cheapest non-cash method of payment?

Sorry, I should have touched on this in the OP, It must have slipped my mind!

Nope, the implanted chip/bio device is old-school thinking with face recognition, iris readers, DNA tests and mobile phones doing the job nicely for government as it is. Oh and I can't imagine why a government would spend billions developing some device to implant in people, when people spend billions already buying the ones they hold in their hands.

Implants open up new possibilities in regards to controlling the body/mind. If something is physically inside of you then it has greater access to monitoring/manipulating your bodily functions and/or thought processes.
I don't think it's simply about surveillance. They want to literally have power over us. Imagine chips with cyanide in them. If you start rebelling too much they just release the cyanide.
If I can think of that I'm sure there's some sicko who's trying to make it a reality.

You ignored the Cyanide part.
