Opening doors in Sweden with a microchip under your skin

The World

Thousands of people in Sweden have paid a company to implant microchips under their skin. Those chips can be used to open things, like your front door, and buy things like train tickets with just a wave of the hand. Reporter Maddy Savage in Stockholm speaks to a couple of people with microchips firmly implanted in their hands.
