i stopped right there.
as someone that has been writing software for almost 30 years, i can emphatically say without hesitation
oh hell no!
The Book of Revelation says this very thing will occur. All will be numbered. You will not be able to buy or sell without it.
Password security needs to go, but biometrics/fingerprints or something similar will do.
Which is why I keep a WHOLE lot of easily tradeable items stashed away (gold, guns, etc)....There will always be an underground "black market" always...
Remember how we all used to line up for vaccinations when we were in 1st grade? I can imagine the government lining up first graders to pass under the electronic tattoo branding iron...without first notifying the parents, of course.
Oh, and one other thing...if you have a left-leaning friend who rejects your argument for limitations on the power of government, show him this article.
Why would I do that? If they are left leaning, they will buy into it's for the good of the nation and makes us all safer BS.

Then tattoos, but find that they too can be marred.
Finally, the microchip.
All very logical and just around the corner folks! All we need is our sovereignty given up to the ‘global’ community!
HELL NO.
Only in a fascist, totalitarian state.
These “new” personal markings going to start with a 666 code?
Going to be required by some law with a “666” paragraph number?
Just wondering, you know.
They've been around a real long time. Have you taken a cruise in the last five years? The card they give you is everything...room key, charging purchases, going to the gym, getting on or off the boat, if you go to the doctor etc etc. You just swipe that darn card and everything they know about you comes up on the screen. You can't do anything on the ship without that darn card tallying it. It has GPS tracking by every indication.
I can'r see how the technology would have to be changed at all to implant the chip in a person instead of implanting it in an ID card.

An interesting article, to be sure.
The technology is already here. The question remains as to whether it will remain optional, for convenience or mandatory for “security”, with potential abuses either way.
Presumably, someone will come out with an rfid detector, if only to verify you didn’t loose your tag.
I’m curious how useful these hair-like tags will be for security if mounted on the outside of your body (or even inside if not very deep). With it being as small as it is, you couldn’t tell if you lost it. What if someone removes it and transfers it to themselves, thus assuming your identity even more easily than cracking a password?
