This is a highly disturbing trend. Once people start receiving chip implants as a means of tracking a person's whearabouts, it's the end of privacy as we know it.

This is slightly more invasive then the electronic monitoring devices that are slapped around a criminal's ankle while under house arrest. How many stories have you read concerning these criminals going to extreme lengths to remove these ankle accessories?

The truth is no one wants to be tracked day in, day out. It is an erosion of privacy. Something, by the way, we're losing a little more of each day. I know I don't look forward to having Big Brother keeping an eye on me. The fact that I live a fairly benign life doesn't have me concerned with anything that may be found in my day-to-day activities. That, for me at least, is irrelevant.

My concern is that the government may feel the need to track normal everyday citizens on such as miniscule level as to have the ability to exert complete control over an individual's movement.

There is no such thing as freedom when life is led under a microscope.

Here's a great little article talking about this trend:
