how quickly it goes from...you're a conspiracy theorist pisshead, no one's going to take microchips, that's stupid, just shutup, how crazy is that. so i've already heard that one. governments around the world are considering chipping their employees and a few have started, police departments are being told they're going to get them, some military already has them, and the rest will be getting them, some popular nightclubs around the world are already chipping people, and there's even a mobile get chipped van that goes aroudn this country...then the rest of the populaion will get them.

then it will turn into...come on pisshead, just shutup and take your chip, what are you crazy...IBM loves you and cares about you so much, just take it...

Former Bush official to get RFID tag
ZD Net | July 19 2005

Comment: mmmmm it's so goooood, we all should have chips as soon as we are born.

Tommy Thompson, the Health and Human Services Secretary in President Bush's first term and a former Governor of Wisconsin, is going to get tagged.

Thompson has joined the board of Applied Digital, which owns VeriChip, the company that specializes in subcutaneous RFID tags for humans and pets.

To help promote the concepts behind the technology, Thompson himself will get an RFID tag implanted under his skin.

Human RFID tags have emerged as one of the more controversial technologies in years. Civil libertarians theorize that the chips will allow governments or corporations to track people's movement and behavior. Some Christians have said the chips are so evil they fulfill a biblical prophesy about satanic influences.

Advocates, on the other hand, say the chips will contain personal information that will help medical professionals and others provide emergency treatment. The chip provides a form of identification that's tough to lose. By clicking the number found on the chip into a password-restricted database, paramedics can get an accident victim's medical history in the field. (One of VeriChip's scientists came up with the idea of using the company's pet RFID tags on people after watching rescue workers struggle to find the missing after the Sept. 11 tragedy.)

Prisons and jails are also experimenting with RFID bracelets and continual tracking to reduce inmate violence.

"We are all well aware of the need to enhance Information Technology in healthcare," Thompson said in a prepared statement. "It is my belief that VeriChip is an important and secure means of accessing medical records and other information. I look forward to working with the company as it continues its growth."
