Isn't it called "salmon" when a man wears it?

You read my mind.

Actually for the mentally challenged and you arrive right on time.

Coincidence? I think not.

Again - the title of this thread is misleading.

Nowhere in the bill does it talk about microchips.

The bill talks about grants for tracking devices for people with Alzheimer and autism, as well as for training of first responders to locate them.

Tracking devices - LIKE THESE
And THESE

It is all about protecting these individuals.

Please read the BILL

I have read the bill... read it before posting the OP.

So what you are saying is that their first thought is going to be "ZOMG, we can just put a REMOVABLE bracelet on autistic kids and Alzheimer's patients! Because there is no way an AUTISTIC CHILD (I've 4 autistic grandchildren) could possibly take off a bracelet! This is genius!!!!"

Nope... I'm going to say that the final result won't be something that Grandma can peel off while running through the woods because she's 12 again.

Just an opinion. And for the record, the bill sucks.

Funny, but even funnier is how you were one of the first persons here.

Salmon is a shade of pink worn by men. By my best guess, It is called salmon so that men don't have to say "Fetch me my pink shirt" (or tie, or whatever).

Next up:

...and people who wear socks with sandals.


... for their own safety, of course.

My husband does that. I look after him though, so he doesn't need to be chipped.

If the bracelet is removed or cut off, it sends an instant alert to the parent's cell phone.

I hope to God that none of your grandchildren ever wander off.

When that little boy in Allentown drowned, I actually cried.
It was such a tragedy. And it might have been prevented if the parents could have afforded a tracking device.

We have this technology, and it can be put to good use.

So, instead of providing resources to treat our loved-ones with the care they need...

We're just going to label them non-conformists who would be better off dead?
Let's add to their trauma? Their families are only worthy of paying taxes to us?

Oppositional defiance disorder can be painted with a broad stroke these days?

Gee, I wonder what politician coined that term, but now I know why.

So what you are saying is that the parent gets a text that the kid is gone.

(Edited) And the reason my kid was so pissed off about it was the "instant Alert" took about 12 minutes. (/Edit)

Been there, done that with my oldest daughter's young Houdini.

Let me help you here... the bracelet sitting in a clearing does not help you find the kid.

Now, before you get all butthurt about my post, can you please point out anywhere in the bill that chipping is NOT allowed?

Because, you know... rational thinking and all that.

Hah.
Is that what you were going for? You don't know me at all.
I'm here to discuss, not to demand that everyone agree with me, unlike some others around here.

Knowing the last place that a child was located is at least a starting point to search. And knowing immediately at least gives the parents a better shot at finding them.

Rational thinking tells me that this bill is about protecting the vulnerable, and in no way has any conspiratorial ulterior motives.

The House recently passed a bill that would bring a micro-chipped populace closer to reality before year’s end.

Any thoughts, fellow ATSers?

Yes. I think it has nothing to do with "a chipped populace" and everything to do with fitting out demented and mentally handicapped people with leg bracelets with GSM phone modules in.

"Tracking chips" are a meme. But not a reality.

a reply to: BlueAjah

So you can't point out in the bill what you were inferring at all and now want to be happyhappyjoyjoy.

Got it.. thank you for the reply.

Oh good God no!!! It is the first step in micro chipping everyone.

Not particularly. The sorts of chips they use in dogs (it's exactly the same one as the Verichip) don't "track" anything. No implants do.

This is a bracelet, sometimes hidden in a shoe. It's pretty much a cellphone, minus the display, keyboard and mic.

There are scarier Brave New World technologies than a chip imagine a compulsory vaccine that contains dormant nanotechnology...

Well, you can imagine it, but it doesn't work that way.

In the original Obamacare bill this was talk about, but many said that it was not going to happen.

Not particularly, unless you had poor reading skills. The thing you're thinking about said they had to have a registry of implanted technology. Like pacemakers.

a reply to: GreyScale

The possibility for misuse is enormous. Who says what a mental disability actually is? That's right... whomever is currently in power.

I agree.

We never needed before, why now?

The fact is, the government at any level cannot be trusted with this kind of technology, specially with their history of abuse of power.

Something tells me these chips might be used for more than tracking.

Good question: Who will determine what is a mental disability? Perhaps, anti-Second Amendment groups?

This is something to keep a close eye on, let's see what their real intentions are.

Study Jose Delgado for what the chip is for

You ought to actually study it. Not read about it on alt.mindcontrol websites. It was an external box with a radio receiver in, which applied a small current to a single electrode implanted in the animal's amygdala.

A far cry from a bracelet with a phone module in.
