- soulkitchen, on 01/15/2008, -1/+32The saddest thing of all about RFID implants is how willingly the scared-***** masses seem to accept them. I almost lost it in one of my college classes when my professor stated that she thought chipping kids should be mandatory in a "post 9/11 world". Ya know, for their safety. WTF? I thought she'd follow-up by unzipping her head and becoming Rudy Guiliani.
- pmctosh, on 01/15/2008, -2/+25first our pets to show us how good it is to feel safe and secure about our furry friends, then maybe our children, because we love them so and god forbid they are ever lost or kidnapped, then everyone else. not that i'm paranoid or anything.......but does the media spend a little too much time dealing out fear and loathing?
- Frostman3D, on 01/15/2008, -3/+22This is your new world order. It's happening.
- Metalmoon, on 01/15/2008, -0/+17where?
- darthchaosrspw, on 01/15/2008, -3/+19When forced chipping of prisoners starts fully in America, it will become an "equal rights" (aka "equal enslavement") issue where some judge rules that if you force all prisoners to take chips, then you have to force all citizens to take chips as well.
- ChileanGoD, on 01/15/2008, -1/+16Next thing you know, they will start implanting career chips on the palm of our hands.
- isleofdog, on 01/15/2008, -2/+16OK. When can we get special goggles that detect the implants?
- rarson, on 01/15/2008, -2/+15Great, now when they get "rehabilitated" and released back into society, they can be tracked! Then all we need to do is create new crimes so we can arrest everyone, and then everyone will have an RFID implant!
I fear the prison system will turn into a vehicle for implanting these tracking devices, and I'm not even joking. After all, if you can monitor everyone (and tie all their personal and finance info to the chip) then there is no need to imprison them in a building; they are already imprisoned in their own homes. - inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+12Orwellian? Pathetic.
- rarson, on 01/15/2008, -7/+18Yeah, Satan is using RFID chips as "the mark." THAT'S the most important angle of this, not the violation of liberty.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -1/+11sources? And no..your mind is not a source.
- cbradio, on 01/15/2008, -0/+10Where would the RFID chips be implanted? I thought they were implanted just under the skin. It seems like the host of the RFID chip could just cut it out.
- katorga, on 01/15/2008, -4/+13FYI, the chips used for pets have a 10% cancer rate.
- LeeSoong, on 01/15/2008, -1/+10" That's a Good BINGO! "
you got it exactly - it is the same reason the government always tests violating civil liberties on 'sexual predators' - hoping to set up precedent, then extending it for well, murderers, thieves, jay walkers,, and every day citizens.
The U.K. is insane if they do this, they are acting like a 3rd world dictatorship... - inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+8http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/01/11/real.id.ap/index. ...
Among the main points:
-The cards will have three layers of security measures but will not contain microchips as some had expected. States will be able to choose from a menu which security measures they will put in their cards. - understudy, on 01/15/2008, -0/+7I hypothesized a couple of years ago (in Russo's F2F days) that the major progression will be prisoners (especially sexual offenders), mental patients, the elderly, and then newborns.
The reason it will work is because no one will say NO to chipping sex offenders, and regular convicts isn't that far removed from the first, and once-institutionalized mental patients isn't that much of a jump from convicts, and the elderly are dear and sometimes not able to fully protect themselves, and infants are completely helpless. Before you know it, everyone's got one—maybe even you.
Saying NO to this isn't defending any one of those groups. It's defending humanity, and we should all say NO to this RIGHT NOW!
_ - heystoopid, on 01/15/2008, -0/+7Most interesting given that a detectable increase in assorted cancers has been observed in dogs and cats which have RFID implants , and has been noted in a number of well known animal medical research journals .
So perhaps it is an evil sinister sub plot for instead of rehabilitation , but a subtle way to induce killing lethal cancers into assorted prisoners in a country where the death penalty has been outlawed as a cruel and unusual punishment to give the prisoners the long slow and painful death sentence by degrees !
Life moves in a strange vicious circle ! - inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+6So what?
Just because they broke the law doesn't mean we have to tag and track them like animals!
Unless you consider them to be non-human or less than human, of course. - inactive, on 01/15/2008, -2/+8Remember the science fiction movie Logan's Run? Where everyone was forced to have an implanted 'life clock'. If you got old and your life clock ran out, you were hunted down and killed.
- rarson, on 01/15/2008, -2/+8I just wanted to mention that the article says the reason they want to do this is to help solve prison overcrowding. That's retarded.
Prison overcrowding is the effect of another problem. Solve the overcrowding problem by solving the problem that causes it! Stop locking so damn many people up! Does a person really need to go to jail for buying, smoking, or selling weed? I don't think so.
Furthermore, what is wrong with the ankle bracelets? I don't like those either, but at least they can be removed easily. This is a step in the wrong direction. - darthchaosrspw, on 01/15/2008, -5/+10Comment buried for being part of the Hitlerian Digg Bury Brigade.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -2/+7I....you...my father...penises...WHAT??!!
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5Anybody for that is either distorted, stupid, ignorant, like slavery, or need to get a dose of reality.
- Wacer, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5It is not about defending criminals, it is about defending humanity.
- ZenMojo, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5And they say Liberals control education.
- TwinTurboMike, on 01/15/2008, -2/+7It wont be long before these chips are being stuffed in just about everything, unbeknownst to you. They are now smaller than a grain of pepper.

Next time you walk into Walmart, don't be surprised if the door greeter says to you, "Good afternoon John. Say, the underwear you are wearing is 237 days old, you may want to consider our sale on..." ;-) - trebuchet03, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5 Welcome to the wooorld of tomorrow!
- HUKI365, on 01/15/2008, -2/+7Yep. and it will happen in the UK before the US.
- bjornski, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4Link?
- Zarokima, on 01/15/2008, -1/+5I agree, though it's quite likely they'll coneniently "forget" about the whole taking it out thing.

oh, and by the way, it can cause cancer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSQurQXa6sA - Gerz1219, on 01/15/2008, -3/+7I am an atheist. But that said, since most people are not atheists, I fully support this method of attack. If rational arguments about liberty won't work, I see no harm in irrationally comparing RFID implants to the "mark of the beast." Any chip implant that will let you "buy or sell" can also be used to track you. I say praise Jeebus, and stop hastening the End Times with beastly devices which were clearly foreseen by Revelations!
Of course, something tells me that the British authorities have already thought of this, and plan to implant their chips in the LEFT hand. - soulkitchen, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4Thanks
- soulkitchen, on 01/15/2008, -1/+5I don't know for sure about this, so if someone has the info at the ready please clear this up:
Doesn't the "Real ID" act require RFIDs and possibly some BioMetric information to be put in drivers licenses? I've heard that they're doing a cascade issue system of these IDs starting with the youngest Americans (since we're of "terrorist age").
Are RFID chips being put in all newly issued passports? - localzuk, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4I wonder if the next step after this is to include a form of control system which electrocutes the prisoner if they break the rules. And after that a small explosive charge if they go even further...
Or have I been watching too many movies? - inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4Keep in mind that selling weed is blackmarketing. If weed were legal, corporations would sell it in stores, and all of your dealer buddies would be out of business. In other words, drug dealers make the big bucks because their particular product is illegal.
- mikesbaker, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4yea he has only donated a ***** ton of money to charity so he must be the devil
- mashw, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3Yeh! This is exactly like that, let's ***** our pants.
- Wacer, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3There is also the problem of crooks walking by people who have them implanted and recording the data that it transmits and they walk by. Soon the criminals clone the chips and use them for illegal activities. For example, nothing like robbing a bank with a cloned chip under your skin that has the information of someone else. Then the innocent will thrown in prison and watch the prison populations really rise.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -1/+4Explain how a chip implant prevents someone committing a crime oh and if millions of people are chipped good luck finding anyone.
- kodek, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3You gotta do what you gotta do.
- Wacer, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3It's is amazing the number of people who don't understand the power of the computer and technology. They have this strange notion that only the good people are good at running technology and they can beat the bad people with this technology. They don't realize that smart people come from all walks of life and income.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -1/+4Try & put a chip in me, I dare ya.
- trebuchet03, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3Way to miss the point while somehow still managing to fall on your sword... In any case, one day you'll figure out both references, think back, and laugh ;)
- Wacer, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3That is how the Nazis behaved. It is easy to get a majority to follow along, when the government starts convincing people that we should start treating people less than human, regardless of what they did.

- ZenMojo, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3While I agree with your sentiment...you sounded like a douchebag.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3First the prisoners then you for being naughty at school.
Freedoms do not come from the hand of a king, without those "hippies" you wouldn't be able to post here. -
