I had never heard of this technolgy until a little over a year ago.  I've 
been doing a lot of reading, mainly in scientific journals and tech magazine 
sites.  I don't understand a lot of the tech speak.  I do better with 
journals like Scientific American (I've been a longtime reader).    I follow 
news pretty closely and have never seen this discussed in a mainstream news 
media outlook.  To me, this is shocking.......bobford

"Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you 
place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support 
him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal 
has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces." 
Etienne de la Boëtie, 1553.

The U.S.'s National ID cards were hacked by German teenagers a year or so 
ago.  They are NOT secure AND all the info on them is being made available 
to both the Canadian and Mexican governments.  Now, I don't know about 
security within the Canadian government but I know the Mexican government 
makes Swiss cheese look solid!

I first posted notices about the RFIDs back in the early 90s when I was 
working for the City of Santa Rosa.  I worked in purchasing and they 
previewed them for the city when they tried to sell a system for tracking 
everything the city owned INCLUDING employee IDs.  They had proto-types of 
scanners that the cops could use by driving down a street looking for 
chipped items that had "walked" out of the supply yard at the city.  '92 or 
might have been one year one way or the other.  If they could do that then, 
think how much better their scanning devices are now.

I have a friend whose husband works in hospitals.  He has something to do 
with IT but I'm not sure what but he travels around and fixes problems for 
some of the major hospitals in the Northwest.  A couple of years ago some of 
the hospitals were setting up tracking devices for patients and were 
implementing "tests" of chipping patients.  You sure didn't see that make 
the major media!

Orwell barely scratched the surface!
