Comments on VeriChip Chairman Proposes RFID Chips For Immigrants
Looks like VeriChip is looking to expand its market; what works for cattle should work for guest workers, apparently. (Read
the complete story)
| "Ugh -- a nasty man with a vile idea. Let's hope VeriChip goes the way of Enron." ( 6/1/2006 6:04:07 AM) |
| "How about placing the chip in our soldiers so when they are captured we can track them?? Why hasen't the military done this if the technology is out there?" ( 6/1/2006 10:23:35 AM) |
| "If the captors knew the soldiers had trackable implants, they would simply kill them on the spot." ( 6/1/2006 12:10:36 PM) |
| "The VeriChip cannot be read from far away; typically the reader is only a few feet away from the tag. However, the Pentagon has had a similar idea; a 'dog tag' that has a powerful transponder to report both the identity of an individual soldier and his position. See the article on Digital Dog Tags." (Bill Christensen 6/1/2006 12:48:16 PM) |
| "Soon this will be required for everyone. Jail inmates will be the first" ( 6/2/2006 5:08:51 PM) |
| "You know where this leads to don't you? We as a people had better wake up to the fact that Jesus is returning soon..........
Are you ready , because this is the middle of the end for man kind as we know it.
It's better to know Christ for one day than to live a life time without him...........
Get to know him TODAY !!!!" ( 6/18/2006 5:08:23 AM) |
| "I hope some people reading this are stockpiling ammunition. You know we don't really have to take this. Oh, and being a soldier myself, I wouldn't use anything, dog tags or not, that had a RFID chip. I'd fry the thing with a portable RFID Zapper first." (Chris 11/24/2007 2:49:55 AM) |
| "Nice story as for me. It would be great to read something more concerning that theme." (Phone blocker 12/3/2009 11:56:15 AM) |
