Facial recognition is improving so rapidly that having an extra microchip does not seem to add much value for identifying people. It's simpler to get the same information from cameras, which are ubiquitous. On the GPS side there's all that location data streaming out of your cell phone, not to mention the semantic information about what you are looking at/doing on the Internet.
There's a lot to be concerned in the privacy realm but many of the threats are already implemented and getting more effective very quickly.

You can also leave your phone in the car or at your house, or give it to someone else who'll be you to those sensors. It's much harder to detach (and reattach) your hand. Also, I never volunteered to be tagged by facial recognition (except for my passport) and these people are volunteering to be tagged.
