  2. You know that somewhere a control freak is thinking ‘that should be mandatory’. Scary.

  3. Stupid liberal idea turn freeways into bike paths to make the eco-freaks happy becuase eco-minded thinking cuase’s a persons brains to shrink to walnut size

  4. I think they’re going to go with the the bar-code tattoos first, Al. It’ll be cheaper until the tracking software is foolproof. (A high bar for Civil Service use.)

  6. What the phrase “no plans to implement it” means is that they are now WORKING on the plans to implement it.

  7. What’s the range of the chip? If someone named… say…. Mo… wanted to blow up a plane and recognized a pre-approved chippie in the parking lot then would the hand in a bag be sufficient to get someone through security without other checks?

  8. I don’t even like the feeling of having a sliver in my skin, no way in hell do I want a microchip of any kind or function.

  9. There is no doubt this is coming and with it everything you do and every where you go will be tracked. It will be mandatory and the only way you will access anything run by the government.

  10. You would need to be crazy to implant a chip. Or you might own the company that has the technology which would make you rich enough to retire to a place that does not use the technology.
    The chip is a serf identification system, plain and simple. Once the state can control individuals, it’s game over!

  12. I think you hit the nail on the head richfisher, besides the obvious loss of independence and privacy, advertising will be everywhere.
    Cue Minority Report when Cruise walks through a mall.

  13. C Miner said: “What’s the range of the chip?”
    The range is determined by the antenna being used to communicate with it. In the article they are showing a “contact range” antenna, similar to the “tap” unit used to communicate with the chip in a credit card. Range on those is under an inch.
    However.
    It is possible to read the chip on a credit card in a guy’s wallet, in his pocket, in a car, from a car going the opposite direction. You just need a better antenna.

    This is a Register article from 2009. In part it talks about a guy who built an RFID reader and drove around San Francisco scooping all kinds of data from credit cards, passports, drivers Licenses, you name it, just from driving past people with cards in their pockets.
    The purpose of chipping a human being is to make it easy for governments to do the same thing. They want to have a chip reader in every streetlight.
    By the way, did you know that many cities have CAMERAS in every streetlight? They do. They are part of an internet enabled parking spot program, but the city STORES the pictures. Forever. There’s a central depository of pictures that keeps them all.

  14. I can see it now. Chips will become mandatory. This just means after the terrorist beheads someone they can extract the persons identity from the victims body, implant it into their own and enter any secure location using that technology as verification of identity.
    Also probably start a thriving black market in the mortuary industry.

  15. From an ergonomic perspective it doesn’t look like he picked the best spot on his hand for implantation.

  16. No surprise, he’s clearly an idiot/savant. Smart at one thing.
    Also, they’re pretending the reader can’t get him from across the room. Or across the street, for that matter.

  17. Bob Koss came up with the same scenario I could foresee. A microchip is okay for my dog but I don’t want to be a walking credit card!

  19. I’ve had people in Vancouver ask me to implant veterinary RFID chips. No big deal to do it as just shove a large bore needle under the skin in the desired location and inject the chip. Seemed to be a techie thing about 10 years ago with people mentioning how often they lost their keys and wanted to be able to use an RFID reader to get into their apartment. One programmer wanted a different RFID chip implanted in the tip of each of his fingers and changed his mind when I told him how much it would hurt.
    I’ve got the veterinary chips to play around with and they’re very short range. One needs quite an intense low frequency radio signal to activate the chip from more than an inch or two away and read it out but certainly something one can carry around in a vehicle if they want to do this.
    There was a brief period when I thought this was a neat idea, but fortunately another programmer patient had the brilliant idea of putting the RFID chip in a ring and using that to log onto systems. Much better than getting a subcutaneous chip that makes one easy to track.
    RFID is fun to play with but I prefer my RFID enabled cards/dongles to be totally outside of my body and under my control.

  20. So, an I.S. terrorist simply has to chop off this guys hand for some Sharia Law offence, not shortage of those.
    Then have the RFID chip inserted in his wrist.
    Then he can waltz into where ever the former chip holder was authourized to enter.
    Probably easier than hacking into your self driving auto and turning you into an unaware suicide bomber.
    That will deplete the market demand for self-driving cars quickly.
    There’s no high tech fix after allowing psychopaths to mass invade Western nations.
    Voting treasonous politicians out of office and prosecuting them for treason is best.

  23. Bad news:
    Revelation 13:17 (KJV)
    17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
    Good news:
    Revelation 20:4 (KJV)
    4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
