Microchip Implantation: For or against...

[smurf hunter]

I've owned a few dogs over the years that were chipped. As I understand that technology, an animal shelter would scan incoming dogs. If a chip was found, the ID was retrieved and some remote service was queried where the dog owner's contact info was matched.

In the case of dogs, there's not some giant war room with a big screen showing blinking green dots for each golden retriever in the country. It's much more analogous to a UPC barcode than beacon of any sort.

So if there was a barcode-like ID chip, which required direct proximity to be read, does that change anyone's feelings?

Kettle Chips Beer and Cheddar flavor for everybody!!!

Seriously though, the hackers and scammers are to intelligent to make this work. Any chip that has read/write access could be hacked. You could become somebody else by just walking past the wrong person.

Yes. They could, with a click of a mouse, cut off your ability to buy or sell, get medical attention, etc. If you were "a suspected enemy of the state" all they'd need is a click of a mouse, just like they can stop your credit card now.

They wouldn't have to know where you are to cut you off, but the first time you tried to use it before you knew it was cut off, they'd know exactly where you were.

100% against anyone involuntarily getting chipped - and i'd try to talk most anyone out of it who was planning it.

Farmers brand cattle.

Owners chip their dogs.

The Nazis would have chipped everybody if they could have. They tatood numbers on people instead.

I wouldn't feel to secure in a country that chipped soldiers like inventory, or civilians livestock.

Grandma says its the Devil's work.

Other than logistics I don't see any difference between the drones and getting it stuck in your, well you get the point. Bottom line NO PRIVACY.

I'm against having any computer chips placed in my organic body. I don't wanna be a borg!

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

I am totally agaist anyone being chipped. Although some should be turned into chips.

When I was in the military, a long time ago, I remember eating chipped beef on toast . . .

Have the enemy gain access to the encryption and they then know where all of your assets are. IOW....NO!

For the military personel this could be a good thing. If they are captured a localtor chip could save there lives. They could be found sooner and not left to die like they have been in other conflicts because we coudn't find them.
Chips would be removed when the person leaves the military.

It would not stop there and the enemy would be cutting things off the men to try and get rid of it once they learned about it.
No sorry but Damned well HELL NO, in a polite tone !
