Anyone care to discuss what this means and how it relates to the book of Revelation?

And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
-Revelation 13:16-18

RFID is no holy grail. In fact, it could be the one thing that destroys all privacy once and for all.

It has the potential for great uses but it also has the potential for great abuses as well.

I most note that the number translated isn't 666, it's 616.

Overeducated idiots who are too ethusiastic about technology. They never give a thought as to whether it is good or worth it or even very useful (Why would I even want an RFID chip implanted in ME so I can open doors faster?). These are the type of fools who would assist Dr. Mengele because, "it's just science, and it's ooh so cool!" Basically, their adult-aged children who still want to play with toys.

The Veri-chip Bus is coming to a town near you.

Seven health-care facilities, located in Arizona, Texas, Florida and Virginia, have signed up to distribute the chip, in addition to mobilizing a large bus the company has outfitted as a mobile "chipping station."
