I think that whoever comes up with a process to remove or nullify them will be very rich.

The first link talked about technology that isn't here and probably won't be for decades... PO will see that it's never implimented.

The second link is a prediction, by Senator Biden, that the Supreme Court will rule on chip implantation issues within Robert's reign. Nothing more than looking into the cornicopian viewer for a prediction of possible future events.

Yawn.

Disposable camera flash, two or three large capacitors, switch. It won't even hurt.

RFID Zapper.

Population control.

Maybe only for the sheep.

Of course if you really want them out then jump into an MIR machine. Problem solved.

WHAAA? Pets are routinely micrchipped...ALL of the top officials in the mexican gov't have either been microchipped or lost their job. You should really read the news a bit more.

Just make sure it's not implanted in your right-hand or your forehead...a book written 2000 years ago warned of such things.

He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

In the event an implant was forced upon me, my response would not be within the bounds of the CoC to discuss. Suffice it to say that in the end I would be wanted for suspicion of criminal action. I am not alone in my thinking that this is a yoke under which I will not live.

Bloody paranoia all of it.

* The RFID tech was designed by Philips in the 1970s, intended for benevolent environments like tracking products in manufacturing plants.

* No aspects of "security" were considered during the design process.

* It works on stupid animals, but that's about it.

It is VERY easy to imagine what would happen if these thingies were implemented for any application involving "security":

On day 1, every criminal worth his weight in crowbars will be immersed in an experience close resembling a geyser of true joy! The concept of "identity theft" will go orbital when they can read chips from meters away and clone them within seconds - phew!

Any piercing studio worth their weight in barbells will also remove any stuff from under the skin in less than one minute. Guess they will have timed competitions on the tat&piercing fairs.

Illegal under UK law. It would count as 'Grievous Bodily Harm'. The perp would end up in jail for 5 years.

100% agree.

Oh, you mean like what happened when the Mythbusters tried to expose the security flaws in RFID credit cards, and the banks and credit card companies came down on them like a ton of bricks?

Well lets hope nobody else tries to use RFID for critical security purposes like passports.

Despite the security flaws, the rollout continues. They are already talking about implanting ex-cons "for the public's safety" and children "for their protection".

If our Stazi government thought they could get away doing it they probably would, to be fair. They are intending to implement RFID on the propsed ID cards though.

Yawn?????

Doesn't it even bother you that we need to have this discussion about our gov?

No wonder things have turned out as they have...I guess everyone must be yawning in America.

Absolutely agreed!!!
