@mousy,
Do you know how easy it is to destroy RFID chips?
Just throw all your stuff in a microwave to zap the things.

@mousy,
I would think that your own body would either destroy or expel them, it tends to do that with unkown agents. Have you by any chance ever eaten paper?

@mousy,
No thanks I don't want any more government interferance in my life, I don't care if they come with "Onstar" no chip for this chick.

Oh Cur, what did you do to be noticed by the FBI? I had to have a CSIS back ground check and it was so intrusive, they talked to all my neighbours, family friends ex-employers and old boy friends. Yikes never again.

You can enjoy "Sucking it up" but I assure you I won't give up any of my "Chartered Rights" not a single one to appease a government that uses the threat of "Terrorism" to make up unexceptable laws to restict my rights. No sir ree now this chicklet, where's my rifle????????? :p Off on a Tin Foil run, later gaters.:headbang:

@mousy,
Yes it is overhyped by paranoid types. When I worked at a small paper in Texas we had a guy come in the newsroom every week and swear the local police had put a micro chip under his skin. Eventually they arrested him and had him committed because he running down the street and was smashing car windows as he ran. Maybe the voices told him to do it I don't know.

The point is as technology advances it will become harder and harder to stay anonymous. Hard money will eventually dissappear or at least remain only as a tool for small transactions. Our money is no longer backed by gold so it is a small step.
Every legal transaction a person makes such as registering their cars renewing their car insurance can be tracked.
Eventually every action outside our houses and some inside will be trackable...

One day we will buy gas and groceries with an electronic device, that fits in a wrist watch. We will pay road tolls with it and even register our cars with it. Maybe vote with it. Over hyped sure, paranoid maybe, but every person in this country leaves a "paper trail" as they go unless they live in a cave and the trail gets easier to track as the years go by.
It is bad...I don't know. It doesn't really bother me that much but it is a logical step forward.

@mousy,
We have a driver who is Muslim , came here from Egypt legally 25 years ago . He is also a pilot , and had just completed training to fly 737s with Northwest Airlines 2 weeks before 911 . He and I had become friends and my wife and I had visited his home several times . He flew to New York a week before 911 , and returned .
When the attack occured , he knew he would be investigated , and so did I . They came to our office and questioned me for an hour . You wouldn't believe the questions asked . They were dressed just like the guys in the movies ! I vouched for his character .
They did call me the next week and tell me that he cleared all their investigations . He is still driving truck part time and flying small aircraft , but can't get hired on the big planes because the airlines won't take the chance of passengers refusing to fly with him as pilot or co-pilot .
