Many corporations are already beginning to have this done to their employees under the guise that it will create a safer environment for its workers. Microchips are easier to maintain and more efficient than access cards or retinal scans. Less opportunity for deception. Veterinarians do this on a daily basis with family pets and other animals to track their whereabouts. My question is this. Being that we are in a constant state of fear with the ongoing war and worldwide terrorism threats, how long will it be before the governments of the US and EU begin requiring a microchip implant to be inserted into all of its citizens under the guise of the Patriot Act or under the premise of personal identification and protection from terrorist infiltration? IMO I think that this WILL happen, just when and how that remains to be seen. If these chips are inplanted, what information will they contain? Will it contain just basic info such as medical conditions, name, address, credit history etc? Or will it include your criminal record, political affiliation, or worse? Will there be a sattelite remote tracking device so that you can never hide from the authorities? Are Americans fearful enough and trusting enough of the government to allow this to happen? Or will this lead to chaos and martial law and have to be done by force? OR will it be done secretly when you go in to the hospital for a routine operation? ATS'rs...what will YOU do when big brother comes for you?

Last night I replied to a post about how kids are slow these days.
The guy has an eleven year old stepchild that can't tie his / her own shoes. Last week I attended a meeting about my kid who is scheduled to graduate next year and was surprised to learn that alot of kids these days can't read a clock and the fact that my son writes like a first grader seems to be of no concern. The schools educate our children in the direction of living and working in the modern world and we use typing to do most everything these days , but there are still situations that require our signature. When we use credit , visit an emergency room , or pick up a prescription we still must sign . So why are so many schools dumping handwriting and most of all cursive handwriting ? Maybe those that set the criteria know something that we do not ?

Find a stray cat, catch it and hold it in an animal carrier sometime before you get the chip. Get the chip. Arrive home and remove chip. (I'm sure by then there will be "chip removal" professionals on the sly...for a modest fee ) Implant chip on stray cat. Feed stray cat a can of tuna for being your patsy. Release stray cat. Head for the hills. Have a nice day.
It's won't just be a matter of having the chip or not. The first time you go to the doc, bank, grocery and you chip fails, because you removed it, you'll be busted and either re-chipped or arrested for illegal removal of chip (IRC) and possibly flagged as a terrorist.

Nice touch! Self destruct upon attempt of removal. Hmmmm, maybe there will be a 2 hour window or something while it "settles" within the flesh before this feature is activated. Or, maybe a way to corrupt it with a microwave wand or a strong magnet. Have to think about this.
