"They" have all of the time in the world? No they don't, tptb that thrive on power and control are foaming at the mouth for the absolute statistics this technology would make available alone. Never doubt that this isn't considered the golden goose for this generation. Mass storage has fueled a desire for absolute statistics that hasn't even started to be quenched, lusted for by government and corporate powers equally.
Every cop in the country being able to point a cellphone sized device at you and instantly tell who you are, where you're from, where you should and shouldn't be, and what you have and have not done, now that is power.
Every shop in t he country being able to scan you at the door and instantly tell who you are, where you're from, where you shop and what you do and don't buy, and what you do and don't use, now that is power.
The power of the database, unchecked, will come into it's own in our generation.

Most health problems are self inflicted. People choose to be smokers or fatties or gay or drunk drivers or speeders or druggies. Just live sensibly and odds are you'll never need a doctor.
Doctors are the biggest bandits in america.

I've read the comments on this post with great interest but most of you don't seem to realize that TPTB don't care if you are willing or not to be chipped NOW or in the near future. They are interested in the newly born. It could become LAW that in order to be released from the hospital the newborn WILL have to be chipped. Even if you are home birthed you will need to supply documentation of chip implant when you file a birth certificate. It will only take 25 years for over half the population to have these implants. The rest of us that are chip free will just die off until almost everybody will be chipped. Those that are left, if they wish to partake of commerce, health benefits, etc. will then volunteer to get the chip.
Peace

They are waiting for a high quality, cost effective, combination RF/Biometric/GPS chip with proper storage.
When the size, price, and storage abilities of the chip, wireless and satellite bandwidth, and mass storage all converge in just the right way, this will come on like a tidal wave.
This has to be pulled off carefully and precisely, they can't allow any major screw-ups that caused the population to say "never again." It also has to be cost effective, reliable, and it requires the full support of a HUGE digital and wireless technology infrastructure, with massive storage abilities.
If you've seen the progress in these areas, you'll get some idea of where in this timeline we are now.

I've already listed a dozen of the biggest reasons why in this thread, but here are quick summeries of a few:
Absolute statistics - Lot's and lot's of money is spent compiling statistics, that wouldn't be close to as accurate or reliable as the absolute statistics these chips would make available. Highly desirable to government and the private sector, for obvious reasons.
Automated fines and summons for infractions such as public intoxication, trespassing, illegal substance abuse, etc. Obviously a huge cash cow, with the selling point of crime prevention and justice. Would create a huge reduction in court and legal costs, with much profit.
I'm tired of thinking about this stuff, just read up on it if you really are interested.

ummm.. Why wouldn't you want a medical I.D. tag? It would make getting health care much easier for pepole. Do you want free health care or not?

I'll shut up about this in a minute, but since some of you don't seem to have been clued in yet on the fact that corporations own our government, I wanted to talk a little bit more about why this technology is so valuable to big business.
Do any of you doubt that NBC wouldn't love to compile absolute statistics?
Say for example, Sony's latest tv is equipped with a reader that can read the chips of everyone who is watching it, under the pretense of being fully customizable and personalized. The tv also happens to compile usage statistics that can be sent back to Sony, compiled, and sold to NBC.
You think any tv network wouldn't pay big bucks for absolute statistics on overall viewing, age/sex/race of viewers, etc? They would in a heart beat.
So we're all chipped. So what? What does that do to help "TPTB" ? Again I ask, what is the endgame ?
