are you saying NO to RFID the VeriChip also known as "The Mark of The Beast?"?

Yes, VeriChip is the maker of the chip for humans. The chip contains your medical info, has GPS, and contains credit information as well. The sister company is Digital Angel, which deals with chips in pets. And the stock is cheap right now.

i think there a sign of evil becus of my religion--hve u ever heard of the mark of the beast? i think tht it is just the begin of wht man wants...i wouldn't get one if i was u tho u never really kno......but thts my opinion......~1~real

Yes.  The ethical questions that this new technology raises are legion.\n\nhttp://www.dnaprint.com/welcome/productsandservices/anestrybydna/

According to the Bible it is.\n\nIt appears in the Book of Revelation:\n\n    Revelation 13:16-18 states:\n\n    "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."

I don't have a problem with a National ID, although the Real ID Act to which you refer to does not mandate a national ID, but rather the insertion of RFID tags into state driver's licenses. You are correct in your statement that states refusing to implement this technology will make it impossible for their citizens to travel on airplanes and trains. My problem with this whole thing is not the ID itself, but rather the use of chip technology. I am completely against this type of technology being used for private and sensitive information because the information cannot be properly protected. Another disturbing fact is that the Federal government is forcing the states to bear the cost of this program making it another unfunded federal mandate.\n\nuknowitainteasy: Just an FYI it has already passed. It was quietly pushed through last year.

Proboly not because no one saw them do it and no one would do like a daily "Check if the tag is still there". But i guess if some people took it off and returned it from where they bought it they went to prison for like a few weeks.

Radio Frequency Identification.  This is where passive electronic tags are put into goods (e.g. think like the security strips at the store, but smarter in that they contain way more information or perhaps a non-powered version of the electronic toll pass in your car). The goods are passed through an electronic gantry that scans the codes and passes along the information.  That way you know everything that is in a pallet, container or box - how many, what color, what size, where they are from, where they are going.  All that time spent counting and categorizing by person is now done via technology. \n\n\nPros:\n1. Faster inventory velocity through the supply chain\n2. Lower costs of logistics\n3. Higher visibility of goods when in transit\n4. Lower shrinkage due to less container packing/unpacking/inspection\n5. Lower inventory levels needed as inventory can get more efficient. \n6. Lower total cost to consumer\n\nCons:\n1. Higher initial costs to logistics suppliers (who have to buy RFID systems)\n2. Fewer safeguards.  RFID tagged containers are sealed, which means less eyes on the container from origin to destination.  US Port Security acts means they may be inspected once they reach the US port, but it is only on a sample basis.\n3. Higher barrier to entry against competition as Walmart builds its cost advantage against competitors (i.e. you start to worry about anti-trust issues). \n4. Concerns that success at commercial level would spill over to personnel level, which would infringe upon personal privacy issues. However, electronic building passes already use this technology.

No such animal. Because of the high risk of  identity theft,these sites want to know who they're dealing with.

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.\n\n\nFor a very detailed information on RFID, please visit the source page.

No, actually you misunderstand as do most. 666 is the Mark of the Beast. The "Anti-Christ," The False Prophet and the Beast are all three different things. The Devil will eventually take the body of the "Anti-Christ" but that is another story. Anyway if you take the mark 666 or if it appears on you then you CHOSE the devil. That doesn't mean it is the Devil's number it means you rejected God.

The card was a law that passed virtually under the microscope because of the length of time from when it was passed to the time that it would be enacted.  The law was passed some time after 911, by Bush and the Republican majority in Congress, snuck into a bill for funding the troops.  It will be out in 2008 and you will need it drive, travel between states, or get a job.  The card will have some sort of "high tech" ID device, such as a tracking chip.  Many conspiracy theorists, particularly those with a Christian background, believe that the chip is the infamous "mark of the beast" from the book of revelations.

I like how you think. I'd personally be surprised if there aren't some resources available that make all electronic correspondence taggable and traceable...\n\nI'd like to see this question reposted in the computers and computing tech areas so some code boffin can assess the source code or something :)

not about question!  been trying to contact you all day about mark of the beast.  my dsl server is kookoo and will not let me answer.\n\nanswer my q again using just 're: mark'and see if i can reply.\n\nfrustrated-'dotti'

Nope precursor..mark of beast will be on your head or wrist.

An implant the size of a rice grain could significantly impact the way hospitals view and keep patient records. A letter from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicated that a radio frequency identification (RFID) implantable tag, manufactured by Palm Beach, Fla.-based VeriChip, was the only product of its kind on the market. VeriChip markets an 11 millimeter RFID tag that is injected into fatty tissue just above the right tricep.\n\nThe chip can radio an identification number to a proprietary VeriChip scanner. The FDA ruling, in effect, allowed the manufacturer to seek a final re view process to determine if the technology can be used in U.S. hospitals. The FDA approval process will likely center on privacy concerns such as if the technology would make protected patient information vulnerable to improper disclosure.\n\nThe technology, which holds potential for storing patient demographic information and medical history, is already in use for standard biometric security applications and in the financial market. It is also quietly gaining ground elsewhere. In April, the Italian Ministry of Health began a six-month pilot project using the chips in hospitals, and Mexico has studied the tags' use for identifying children in the event of abduction,
