Welcome to control-freak world! Take a look: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19904543/wid/11915829/ "Chips: High-tech aids or tools for Big Brother? Debate rages over proliferation of ever-more-precise tracking technologies CityWatcher.com, a provider of surveillance equipment, attracted little notice itself — until a year ago, when two of its employees had glass-encapsulated microchips with miniature antennas embedded in their forearms. The “chipping” of two workers with RFIDs — radio frequency identification tags as long as two grains of rice, as thick as a toothpick — was merely a way of restricting access to vaults that held sensitive data and images for police departments, a layer of security beyond key cards and clearance codes, the company said." What do you think?
Well, as you condemn the practice as "horrifying" or whatever, remember this little device the next time you hear a story about a little kid being kidnapped and they authorities can't find him. ....then a few days later, the cops discover the dead body. Baron Max
I can't bleeping believe it. I agree with you. Imagine the horror of your child disappearing and not knowing where they are! A chip could save a life. Same with the elderly who sometimes wander off and become lost. The merits outweigh the negative.
Right so that works once or twice and perhaps more for the retarded molesters, then the police start finding bodies with missing hands(or whever they stick their government approved tracking device). Fucking herd, they do deserve it.
I've been screaming to get my kids tagged for years!!! A local vet would do it to pets, but when I called and asked...Nooooooo. Now they make tennis shoes with a GPS in them. But at $350 a pair +$20 mth GPS service.... http://www.cleveland.com/business/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/business/1171117882187600.xml&coll=2
What do you think the range is on the RFID? How would it help find a kid? It may identify but it won't find. psik
I've been thinking about using microchips to be used with spinal cord injuries. Say we make one that transmits a signal from the spinal cord that's still transmitting them to a microchip that will recieve those signals. That would reconnect the signals that were lost and let them be linked up once again benifiting those who could not walk.
