Identifying Implants in US workers

[Dr. Freeman]

An Ohio company has embedded silicon chips in two of its employees - the first known case in which US workers have been “tagged” electronically as a way of identifying them.

CityWatcher.com, a private video surveillance company, said it was testing the technology as a way of controlling access to a room where it holds security video footage for government agencies and the police.

i am disturbed by this... :|

"To those who scare peace loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: your tactics aid terrorists for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to America’s enemies and pause to America’s friends." - John Ashcroft

 

[Greatgat]

That quote just makes me mad at Ashcroft again. Jesus jumping Christ on a pogo stick, it's scary because it's well done but the entire message is just ****ed.

But anyway, yeah this whole chip thing is just wrong. Unfortunately, I can see a lot of government entities and private corporations going for it.

 

[jverne]

shit...so it begins!

[Shodan]

**** that, they and their chips can go to hell.

I hate the way this is going.

 

[CptStern]

isnt there something in the bible (somewhere in the middle) that identifies implanted tech as the sign of the coming armaggeddon?

we need a christian in here STAT

 

[Kangy]

As long as it goes no further than that, I think it's a reasonably good idea for that alone (I don't think it's appropriate in many other positions though). For example, I suppose it's generally a good idea to ensure nobody without access is getting close to nuclear weapons, but tracking the general population is wrong.

 

[Yuri]

I don't see this being so bad, if its kept for super-high security jobs only.

How is this any different than an ID card that is surgically grafted to your flesh?

But likewise, how is this any different than a retinal scanner or anything? Unless the chip has like GPS or something, and is used not only to let them into security areas... I don't see a problem.

It's called the "mark of the beast" but nobody knows if it will be an implant, tattoo, etc. I thought it was in Revelations but it could be somewhere else. I haven't really read much scripture in quite a while. Regardless I wouldn't want a chip/implant based on more than just religous grounds.

yes I know I'm a former catholic ..I just like inviting christians into discussions cuz I'm all for equal opportunities

You just like luring unsuspecting folks in and then "Sterning" them. Then I sit back and say "OMFG Sternd!"

 

[CptStern]

heh it's not intentional ...sometimes they do it to themselves :E

you close-minded fool! just you wait for another terrorist attack...then well see people with antennas from their asses...how can you be so naive!?

;(

 

[CptStern]

lol! now my co-worker is looking at me for lol'ing

 

[Shippi]

.

 

[Sulkdodds]

It's fine (I guess, for really high-security things) when it's literally just an ID thing but it opens up the way for far more sinister uses...

 

[Direwolf]

Hehe....its just an identifier chip tested on two volunteers. They can't even track them or anything.

I am so sorry...

I hope Armageddon is coming, I'm getting tired of waiting.


This is still very benign right now though. I see no reason to worry.

I'm sure you're suitably armed for when Jesus raises the dead and all hell breaks loose ...not me, Ill be saved cuz catholics have a secret weapon: "deathbed confessional"

"you killed 354 people with just a spoon? that's ok my son just say 145 Hail Mary's and 321 Our Fathers and everything will be forgiven, go in peace"

 

[Flyingdebris]

ID chips? screw that! I want the brain chips that those monkeys recieved that let them move around a mouse cursor with their minds.

I'd be my own aimbot

 

[Solaris]

As long it's restricted to certain people doing certain jobs, I don't see the problem with it. I mean, ID cards are common in work/schools, I don't see how this is much different.

I hate it in schools, its conditioning us to accept them in later life.

F*ck confession, if they won't let me into Heaven, I'll just blow mny way in.

Except for the fact that you'd never mean it :-P

666 is coming! New world order, terrible world gripping war in the middle east. It's coming! <runs away in fear>

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

It's voluntary you guys. It's not really scary at all it's actually interesting. I want to get one in the future that can open my doors and stuff or start my car with a hand wave. I'd feel like a Jedi LOL

 

[Darkboy]

Damn. I've seen Sci fi movies like this.

PAN networks would rock. They emit information in a small field around you using the conductivity in your body's salts. It theoretically can do stuff like open doors etc.

heh I guess as a devout catholic you'd know that last rites includes absolving of sins ..right? it's part of the sacrament of anointing the sick ..but you're a catholic you should know this right?

You still have to go through Purgatory

Rumors are that sucks ass, but you come out a hard mother****er.

That reminds me of that Bill Hicks quote to some Christians who didn't like what he said in one of his stand ups. "You didn't like that? So forgive me."
