Fox "News": fun with microchipping!

"Where's Jimmy?" the headline reads. "Just Google His Bar Code." And thus the controlled media goes to work for the establishment, patting you on the head and telling you don't worry about the microchip...it's FYOG! Hey, Mexico is already doing it. You don't want Mexico to get ahead of Amurr'ca, do you? Don't you want to know where your children are at all times? Just microchip them at birth. Then you can be at ease as you become an even more detached, neglectful "parent" with Big Brother monitoring your children for you.

And when they grow up, the chip will still be there, so Big Brother can monitor their travel, and what they buy. Just as long s they don't get out of line...when their entire life is in the chip, all they have to do is shut it off and they become a non-person.

Scientists currently tag animals to study their behavior and protect the endangered, but some futurists wonder whether all humans should be tagged too


Tech enthusiasts and futurists think implantable radio chips, such as those embedded in Amal Graafstra's hands, could mean safety, security and convenience. But civil libertarians are concerned about privacy

Scientists tag animals to monitor their behavior and keep track of endangered species. Now some futurists are asking whether all of mankind should be tagged too. Looking for a loved one? Just Google his microchip.

The chips, called radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, emit a simple radio signal akin to a bar code, anywhere, anytime. Futurists say they can be easily implanted under the skin on a person’s arm.

Already, the government of Mexico has surgically implanted the chips, the size of a grain of rice, in the upper arms of staff at the attorney general’s office in Mexico City. The chips contain codes that, when read by scanners, allow access to a secure building, and prevent trespassing by drug lords.

In research published in the International Journal of Innovation and Sustainable Development, Taiwanese researchers postulate that the tags could help save lives in the aftermath of a major earthquake. "Office workers would have their identity badges embedded in their RFID tags, while visitors would be given temporary RFID tags when they enter the lobby," they suggest. Similarly, identity tags for hospital staff and patients could embed RFID technology.

“Our world is becoming instrumented,” IBM’s chairman and CEO, Samuel J. Palmisano said at an industry conference last week. “Today, there are nearly a billion transistors per human, each one costing one ten-millionth of a cent. There are 30 billion radio RFID tags produced globally.”

Having one in every person could relieve anxiety for parents and help save lives, or work on a more mundane level by unlocking doors with the wave of a hand or starting a parked car -- that's how tech enthusiast Amal Graafstra (his hands are pictured above) uses his. But this secure, “instrumented” future is frightening for many civil liberties advocates. Even adding an RFID chip to a driver’s license or state ID card raises objections from concerned voices.
