(Reuters) - Shares of VeriChip Corp (CHIP.O) tripled after the company said it had been granted an exclusive license to two patents, which will help it to develop implantable virus detection systems in humans.
The patents, held by VeriChip partner Receptors LLC, relate to biosensors that can detect the H1N1 and other viruses, and biological threats such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, VeriChip said in a statement.
The technology will combine with VeriChip's implantable radio frequency identification devices to develop virus triage detection systems.

i will never wear nor be implanted with a microchip from the government;
and the TPTB are pretty stupid if they actually think their plan will succeed
The RF technology:
Capable of storing and transmitting digital information. This information is dynamic and can be updated at any time. It can also store and transmit biometric and GPS information. When used in combination with GPS technology, can provide the ultimate in identity protection, leading to widespread and possibly enforced use as identification and secure digital payment method.
Can interface with smart homes, smart appliances including computers, smart vehicles and GPS systems, all kinds of stores, gyms and exercise equipment, the internet, cellphones, video games, public transit, public libraries, border crossings, post offices, toll booths, and tanning beds.
Will allow retail stores to offer discounts for customers participating in their RF shopping membership programs.
Can prevent numerous crimes that require a lot of time and labor, while also streamlining punishment and payment for non-violent crimes.
The Biometric Chip:
Capable of detecting an array of health problems, monitoring vital signs, and conducting instant blood tests. These will be sold mostly from a health and emergency prevention angle. It is possible they will be used to monitor children and teens for drug use. They may also be used to prevent driving or operating heavy machinery under the influence. They may also be used in combination with other technologies to safely shut down vehicles and heavy machinery during a health emergency. These will probably also be used in combination with GPS implant coordinates to provide streamlined emergency services.
Can prevent accidental overdose.
Can send instant health updates to your computer, television, cellphone, or any other lifechip compatible interface.
Are able to alert parents of health issues with their children. This will be a strong selling point. Stories in the news will range from instant response to anaphylactic shock, to preventing diabetic coma, to life saving alerts of accidental drowning.
Can completely put an end to all driving/operating heavy machinery under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Are able to interface with hospital tech to prevent and drastically reduce misdiagnosis, incorrect medication, and many other hospital errors, also including pharmacy errors.
The GPS function:
Will be fought over, and strongly for, with quite a lot of fervor. The arguments in favor of this technology will include streamlined emergency services, the protection of children, and adults, against kidnapping. The ability to streamline the location and arrest of criminals. Strict adherence to all posted speed limits, enforced by satellite with tickets instantly issued digitally.
Can create a digital travel log mapping every coordinate ever visited on earth, also providing directions on how to return.
Can send instant local emergency updates including nearby fires, explosions, natural disasters and so on to your computer, television, cellphone, or any other PLD compatible interface.
Provide absolute digital coordinates as proof in court cases where location of suspect at time of crime is crucial.
Ensure that all students remain on school grounds at all times unless checked out of the PLD system.
Can interface with smart homes, smart appliances, all signed and approved PLD systems.

Instead of everyone and their dog yelling about how they and their children won't be taking it, how about some empathy and sympathy for the children who will?
How about discussing plans of action and solutions, instead of these "Not me and mine, the hell with everyone else" attitudes?
If you people take the time to learn the selling points that WILL convince the general population, you can develop counter-points and arguments against this technology. Contemporary Americans are traditionally reactionary, how about being proactive for once and learning everything we can about these techs before the mass campaign to convince the lowest common denominators kicks in full-throttle?
"I won't be getting it" is no excuse to ignore it.

hardcore Christians that'll put a stop to the implant/chip.
You wanna see an angry mob? Tell the folks down at the local
church they have to take the chip implant...bring some beer and lunch...
you'll be entertained for hours lol
