Both Bar Codes and Implantable Transponders (Chips) - as well as the idea of tracking closely associated objects (aka Cellphones) - all come back to an idea that centralized data collection, processing, and issuing controlling commands/influences would have an aggregate positive effect for the majority of the populace.

It also highly appeals to those who would imagine the manipulative powers such a system would provide, that is as long as they were one of the controllers rather than merely one of the controlled.

Systems Theory is somewhat ignored in this pursuit of control via monitoring.

Experimental designs tended to "run out of steam" through the lacking of the variability a robust systems otherwise encounters.

As most human life systems are actually part of a multivariate interconnected mass of codependent systems, the forced optimization on a limited amount of axis, causes adverse effects of the non-optimized axis, again leading to a destructive instability.

Perhaps the SciFi lessons of "The Forbiden Planet" are closer to the truth than we realize?
