I've NEVER seen a country change so drastically as ours has since Obama entered the WHITE HOUSE!! And NOT for the better either!!
These changes are not good for our country and actually undermine the freedoms that our forefathers fought and died for!! How can Congress just ignore what is happening to our country?!??! We need to vote out all of the current Senate/House/President and vote in one that will fight for our country, not destroy it!!

Please point out the portion of the ACA that mandates some sort of RealID stipulation, and I will be more inclined to give your supposition a little more analysis. I'm not seeing the connection.
...They can not broadcast or be tracked so you could not do any nefarious with them, however even their practical uses are limited. Which is why they are pretty much limited to pets who do not carry ID...
...Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans to roll out sophisticated electronic ID tags to track individual pairs of jeans and underwear, the first step in a system that advocates say better controls inventory but some critics say raises privacy concerns.
Starting next month, the retailer will place removable "smart tags" on individual garments that can be read by a hand-held scanner. Wal-Mart workers will be able to quickly learn, for instance, which size of Wrangler jeans is missing, with the aim of ensuring shelves are optimally stocked and inventory tightly watched. If successful, the radio-frequency ID tags will be rolled out on other products at Wal-Mart's more than 3,750 U.S. stores....
While the tags can be removed from clothing and packages, they can't be turned off, and they are trackable. Some privacy advocates...
...also worry that retailers will be able to scan customers who carry new types of personal ID cards as they walk through a store, without their knowledge. Several states, including Washington and New York, have begun issuing enhanced driver's licenses that contain radio- frequency tags with unique ID numbers, to make border crossings easier for frequent travelers. Some privacy advocates contend that retailers could theoretically scan people with such licenses as they make purchases, combine the info with their credit card data, and then know the person's identity the next time they stepped into the store.....
Robert Carpenter, chief executive of GS1 U.S., a nonprofit group that helped develop universal product-code standards four decades ago and is now doing the same for electronic product codes, said the sensors have dropped to as little as seven to 10 cents from 50 cents just a few years ago. He predicts that Wal-Mart's "tipping point" will drive prices lower....

It's (possibly) not in the ACA. The ACA is an implementing tool. It's in a previous bill signed into law by Clinton. We're talking about an agenda here ... an insidious purple agenda. See it if you will, I care not for your analysis.
....Federal agencies include TSA, meaning without a REAL ID Driver's License or REAL ID State ID, or a *temporary* state deferment for your particular state that hasn't expired yet, then you cannot board a plane from one state to another (nor internationally).

Sure sounds like the old USSR where you needed travel visas to move around.

Ah, the "Wheels-within-wheels" argument.
That doesn't actually happen in the real world. It does make for good fiction, I mean, I liked House of Cards just as much as the next person.
....With regard to the star on the state ID, I have that metalic looking star on my new license....

My dogs are chipped. Its handy if they get lost so they can check them see where they live but, its not like they can be tracked or anything. You have to take them to a place like the vets that can scan them. Of course they have have no power and so they can not broadcast unless they placed near a scanner and that provides the power. So they do have some limited use.
Im confused, so does that mean you are comfortable being treated like someones possession to be tracked and cataloged at your owners leisure?
If somebody would prefer a chip instead of card or whatever form of ID they already carry then I have no problem with it. My point is its uses are very limited, pretty much to same level as an ID card. They can not broadcast or be tracked so you could not do any nefarious with them, however even their practical uses are limited. Which is why they are pretty much limited to pets who do not carry ID. I expect facial and retinal recognition software will make any attempt to use chips in people passe.
....Having said all of that - isn't this guy a Christian? If so he would not be the one to implement a chip or anything that resembles what is spoken of in revelations.
Good Luck flying in or out of half of the United States then, as they have passed state legislation to block RealID. RealID is all but over.

All I can say about that is they better have a lot of them and be willing to make daily house calls because if the do manage to chip me I'm cutting it out as soon as I get home.
That's if the gestapo can hold me down long enough to implant one in the first place.

...most rfid chips are passive, there are some active chips that have battery power but are more expensive.
if they start implanting chip , they might do both and increase the strength of the readers,
and start placing the readers where there are security cameras and red light cameras....
TekVet-IBM Cattle Tracker Uses Active RFID Tags, Satellite Communication
With temperature sensors linked to battery-powered RFID tags, the system can record not only an animal's location, but also its health.
The system utilizes active 418 MHz RFID tags, sensors that monitor an animal's internal temperature and transceivers to transmit each tag's unique serial number, as well as the animal's temperature, to an Internet server hosted by IBM. There, the unique serial number of that tag is linked with the animal and its health record....
The RFID tags and sensors are manufactured by Nationwide Electronics, based in Palmetto Fla. A tag is attached to an animal's ear, and the tag's temperature sensor is inserted into the ear canal. Once an hour, the tag transmits its unique ID number and the animal's temperature. That transmission is captured by transceivers known as TekVet SmartReceivers, also manufactured by Nationwide Electronics.
The SmartReceivers can be attached to poles or walls of buildings on a cattle producer's lot, offering a read range averaging 300 to 500 feet. The devices use a 900 MHz private satellite communication network to transmit tag and sensor data to an IBM-hosted data center, where information on millions of cattle worldwide can be displayed online. The Web site containing this data is accessible by producers, investors and food-safety regulators, enabling them to determine the lot where an animal is located, based on which transceiver is receiving the tag data....
