RFID implants will create a new class of "outcasts" in the government indoctrination centers (public schools). Un-chipped students will be bullied on a constant basis by chipped students to the point where one of the un-chipped students decides to take a gun to school and kill the chipped students. Then you will see public schools requiring an implantable microchip for all students...then of course the ACLU will get some neolib judge to declare that private schools must chip their students as well.
That's what the tinfoil is for...
They will start chipping the kiddos to make the abducted ones easier to find. Then criminals. Then you.
Good post.
The first "chippers" will implant themselves voluntarily in order to bypass security checks at airports, customs lines, checkout counters, etc. After that, the underclasses will want to be chipped in order to have the same perks. The criminals and poor will be the last to be implanted. At some point, the absence of a chip will mark an individual as somewhat suspect, the same way that no credit cards would stigmatize and inconvenience a person today.
Oh My God,(hysterically loading pistol) they are coming
for us arent they?
Eventually your chipping after birth will become the moment you acheive "personhood" and therefore are entitlment to "human" rights. Can you say Logan's Run?
Oh yeah, there's that whole Mark of the Beast in the end times thing too.
bump for later read.
Except for illegal immigrants. They will be exempt. Welcome to the Twilight Zone of governmental insanity.

I call BS right here. Most RFID tags are passive, meaning (1) a RFID tag reader needs to be reasonably close to the tag to be able to energize it, and (2) the only information on the tag is a product ID and/or serial number, which is meaningless without reference to a database. The DoD is looking at active RFID tags that will track GPS location, temperature, shock, etc., but the price of these active tags are much more than the $0.05 (or so) that WalMart needs to make RFID tags cost-effective in their operations.
Our government leaders are already going down this path with the E-pass for vehicles. Soon, and I mean very soon, you will not be able to use toll-roads without a pre-purchased electronic device that allows access to the roads (and the ability to track our movements). Notice that toll roads have drive through lanes for e-pass holders and that the sloths (like me!) that choose to pay cash are made to sit through long lines.
The RFID chip will be used to ID the remains when we finally drop dead of old age or boredom. The only way to get rid of it would be cremation. The freezing method would not work.
Hmm...you know, I could swear I've read this whole article a long time ago before any chips ever existed...
Oh right, here it is:
"The Revelation of Saint John the Devine"
"13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 13:17 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."
"or the number of his name."
I've always found this part fascinating, in relation to Social Security numbers.
Or the 'number' of your 'name'.
100 years ago this was laughed off by the Bible Skeptic as absurd and impossible, but tis not so far-fetched today, eh?
True, they are conflating the stock RFID chip with the larger, different technology of "Digital Angel" if I am remembering the company properly. But having local readers that feed into some kind of uplink would be about the same thing.
The winning team in a 2005 computer applications contest, the Network for Endangered Animal Tracking (NEAT), combined radio collars (for wolves) and a wireless network in the forest to track their travels and activities. The winning team in this global competition included my freshly minted son-in-law!
They should be careful what they wish for. This would make voter fraud increasingly difficult.

How long do you think it will be before the technology catches up? I give it 10 years max. It's not going to stop there, the Borg, 'hive mind' technology will be right behind it.
