Would you ever have yourself chipped [RFID]?

Once RFID is in people, free society will end. I don't have a problem putting them in criminals and animals, but they don't belong in people.

I scratched my record. Can I come over and listen to yours? I can bring the chips!

Take precautions against static electricity, especially when you open the box or handle the chip.  Mild static damage can ruin miniature electronics like chips easily.  If you felt the shock, it was probably enough to ruin it right away, more mild damage should show up within six months.\n\nYou've probably learned the static rules, then forgotten bits.  I know I have.  Here's a refresher. http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Computer_Science/2002/static.asp

computer chips.  every runner gets a small radio frequency ID chip that they tie to their shoe.  At the start line, finish line, and usually several places on the course, you run over large mats that read the chips and tell the computer who you are and what time you are running.

the fact that everything we are doing and will be doing in the near future will be documented automatically in your own personal profile on the central government database .Early next year they are going to be puting everyones medical info on the database ,do people realise this?.\nit starts with ID cards then its taking dna with out consent ,then face recognition cameras on every corner tracing your every move and constantly adding to your profile in the government central data base ,then its biometric finger scanning everytime you buy everything everywhere you go eventually turning us into a cashless society in which you use your finger to pay for everything all numbers ,being randomly stopped on the street and being asked to place your finger on there machine being tested in england and wales at the min ,all info going into your profile .\nat this point i hear people say ive got nothing to hide .then they want retina scans everytime you enter any building all still adding to your profile and face recognition cameras are not enougth they want to inject a sat nav chip in your arm the size of a tic tac how long before you have no choice in the matter of having it done because the system does not work if all are not part of it .sounds science fiction yet all science fact the micro chip was made by M.I.T and has been implanted on over 100 people this is an rfid chip yet sat technology exists,retina scan technology has been created ,biometric finger scanning yet not hooked up to the governments data base ,is being used in many school librarys and cafeterias to precondition this generation,its normal,the guinea pigs if you will ,and face recognition in early stages in the public is at the right standard to be implemented as part of the new world orders way of enslaving us. when it happens and you dont want to be part of this society you have to way up if you want to live in the wilderness or go along with being enslaved .this is gonna happen in years not decades.and all ive said isnt even half of it click on this link http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-4839556520925774502&q=suspect+nation its a documentary that was on channel 4 last week ,this programme only really tells half the story yet if you dont know anything about this ,its eye opening stuff.\n\nif you want to go further and realise why there actually doing this click on this link\nhttp://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=786048453686176230&q=terrorstorm \n\ni will definately opose this everywhere i go and debate it as much as i can but mainly try and inform people of what this means for humanity ,big brother is just a tiny piece of the big picture sadly. \nlaters.

Working in retail, I experience this on  near daily basis.  I get people who get angry at me for asking for ID when their card says "Ask for ID", or if they're only buying a small amount, etc.  Bottom line, if your card isn't signed or if I can barely see the signature, I'm asking for ID.  First of all, many credit card thieves first start purchasing small things to see if they can get away with it, so I don't care if you're only spending $1, I'm asking for ID.  Second, it's *against* the terms and conditions of any credit card to leave it unsigned...even if you put "See ID" or some variation of that.  Merchants could rightfully decline any unsigned card.  Credit cards REQUIRE a signature.  I'm so sick and tired of people saying that they don't sign their card so they don't have to worry about theft.  It's MUCH more difficult to forge a signature than to sign someone else's name with your own handwriting on an unsigned card.  People have lost all common sense.  I remember walking in a grocery store and finding someone's unsigned card on the floor.  I turned it in, but imagine what fun I could have had if I was dishonest.  All I'd need to do was sign her name with my handwriting.  \n\nThis is for the consumer's protection.  If that person ever had their card stolen, they'd be wishing they never got upset for being asked for an ID.

The radio tags that you are referring to are typically called RFID tags, or radio frequency identification tags.  It consists of a small antenna and a microchip which is a radio transponder.  \n\nWhen you pass through the detector at the door, the detector is continually pulsing a radio signal.  The radio signal is picked up by the antenna in the tag, which generates a very small amount of current to power the microchip.  The microchip then transmits back an identification code that is received by the detector.  If that tag isn't supposed to be there, then  the alarm goes off.\n\nYou will notice at the check-out counter that the cashier has either a device to remove the RFID tag or passes it over a device next to the barcode scanner that disables it.  It works just like the detector, but it sends a special code to the RFID microchip to permanently disable itself.  With the tag disabled, it doesn't transmit anything to the detector and you aren't stopped by your friendly Wal-mart greeter to check your bags for something that you presumably have stolen.

True, you're not going to wirelessly power much of anything nowadays, but not because it's impossible.  RFID uses wireless power, but it doesn't need much of it.  The EM waves needed to wirelessly power something significant like a cell phone require much more energy than is worth expending when you can just charge it from your power outlet.  You can buy cell phones and chargers now where you only have to set your cell phone on a base and it will recharge it without a wire, but recharging it from that base while you're walking around probably will never happen.  It would probably mess a lot of nearby electronics up, require much more energy than required to charge the phone, and possibly be dangerous to your health (insofar that living underneath transmission lines may be dangerous to your health).

Like you, I feel they should never ever be released and I think micro chipping them is a great idea.\n\nThis is a little off topic, but I'd like to see our soldiers and civilians, working in foreign hostile countries, also micro-chipped with location sensors.  Then, if they are ever abducted, they can be found and rescued before they are beheaded.

never, not under any circumstances. if my wife brought it home I would make her return it.\n\ntaste is a crazy thing, huh?

Who's to say that this is not the beginning of the end. In the book of Revelations it speaks of the mark of the beast. There already is a number of chip implants in the works for such things as monetary payments, credit checks, and identification.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag is a small object that can be attached to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person. RFID tags contain silicon chips and antennas to enable them to receive and respond to radio-frequency queries from an RFID transceiver. Passive tags require no internal power source, whereas active tags require a power source.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2005/160905resistid.htm\n\nWhy You Should Resist the National ID Card-\n\n The introduction of the national ID card is one step further towards the mandatory implantation of ID chips in all British citizens. Does this sound outlandish? Implantable chip technology has been in existence for a decade and discussions on ID chipping humans is in the news regularly. Tommy Thompson, the former Health and Human Services Secretary in the Bush administration, had a chip implanted and is now touring the country lauding the virtues of ID chips. During the the confirmation hearings for John Roberts Jr., George W. Bush's nominee for Supreme Court chief justice, Roberts was questioned by Senator Joseph R. Biden on whether he would rule against a mandatory implantable microchip to track American citizens.

No, because they would have no way of knowing what value to assign to it. That's not built into the cash register or scanner.

Dude, you ought to disregard all these answers from people who prefer to remain blissfully ignorant; they say 'Hey, like if it doesn't affect me, like directly, then like, why should I like, care?'\n\nSometimes, it is a darn shame that the right to express their opinions, and waste breath, is extended to their like.\n\nYeah, I have seen that demonstration before, and I find it disturbing that the Government would do this, as well as, I understand the explanation the Government gives for doing this.\nThey justify it by saying that North Korea, Iran or Russia, maybe China, is counterfeiting our currency to such an intricate extent, that the other, more obvious methods of counterfeit detection are useless, so they embed these little RFID chips, to tell the difference.\n\nBut what good does that do, at the supermarket, at the ballgame, wherever you spend the cash?  It can only be used for two purposes, that I can see:  \n1) to track our usage, or our cash we carry;\n2) to later, at some time of emergency, maybe track enemies within these borders.\n\n\nThen all of these other answers will squeel, but then, it's too late.
