I guess it is what you believe, or don't believe in.

Huh? What are you talking about? I listed a number of items which were considered evil when first introduced. There were riots over the weaving looms, during which the looms were destroyed, because they were seen as threats to jobs. That's what I am talking about. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Yeah, me, too. Wonder how long it will be before it becomes mandatory. Shades of the end times.

Actually, I was thinking about this in association with biometeric quick-access gun safes just yesterday. I don't trust a fingerprint reader to be accurate..justified or not ? And I don't want to have to carry around an RFID Key Fob or card, which could be lost o=r stolen. But if I had an RFID chip implanted in the skin of my hand, that actually seemed like a good idea. Only I would know about it. What would be the downside? "Crom is strong! If I die, I have to go before him, and he will ask me, 'What is the riddle of steel?' If I don't know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me." | |||

We had employees circa 2001 make the same religious arguments against fingerprint scanners for access. I'll agree that I'd pass on this, unless I get a lifetime contract. What's the plan when you leave them - they hand you a scalpel on the way out? You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

One presumes they just disable the code in your chip. When you hire in somewhere else, they re-register your chip with them. Not saying I want one, though. Obviously, it should be placed in the left hand--one wouldn't want it being scanned and copied just from a handshake, would one? There are bar code readers that can pull data from several inches away now, so one would expect the same capability to read these chips.

I'm guessing they simply cancel out than identifier in the system which is no different than the RFI cards. | |||

Oh, c'mon! I've LONG said that I'd be happy to have such a chip in my hand if I could use it for enough stuff. Like paying at the gas station or the grocery store. I really don't see all the doom and gloom around this. It's sounds very convenient to me. I mean... why not? You decide you don't want it, you just have it removed. It's not like there's general anesthesia involved. | |||

They should just use a fingerprint or iris/retina scan. Why bother implanting a tag, when we already come with a few built in. | |||

Same risk for fingerprint keyed access. | |||
