What good is this going to do if you are in an ER in LA? You aren't going to see a doctor in time anyway.

If this ever took off, wouldn't the government need to standardize the chip's location? Otherwise, how could the cop's find the chip, without doing an outrageously expensive total body scan or X-ray. Just run a scanner close enough to the body and the chip transmits its ID number. I don't know if the range would be in inches or a few feet. Even if inches, it wouldn't take any longer than someone wanding you with a hand held metal detector.

I'm still trying to imagine the medical emergency that requires information stored on a chip. People with allergies and other ailments like diabetes can wear ID bracelets, if they are worried about needing emergency medical care while unconscious.
Heck, if it were an issue, I wouldn't care about an unobtrusive tattoo for my blood type.
Imagine a pattern of freckles between your toes. of the 4 spaces between the toes on one foot, they represent A, B, and +, plus a checkbit. If you are type AB+, you have a dot in each space. If you are O neg, you have only the checkbit.
Or, for specific ailments and allergies that emercencgy medical personnel should know about, a discreet but accessible location (under arm, behind ear, inside mouth) that could be tattooed with a tiny braille like dot code, with each code indicating a given condition.)
All voluntary, and all cheaply and effectively solving essentially every (non-nefarious) problem solved by these chips.

You spelled "mark" wrong. Try MARC... MARC of the beast. Now do a quick search on MARC.

This is truly frightening. I can think of a ton of uses off the top of my head. Of course the chip will be required by:
1) Health ins. companies.
2) Secretary of state (Drivers Liscenses).
3) The courts.
4) To receive marriage liscenses.
5) The IRS.
6) Property tax collectors.
7) Sales tax collectors, gotta make sure you don't purchase anything outside your state boundaries.
8) Airlines.
9) Passport replacement.
10) Birth Certificates.
Then it is just an easy transition to replace your ATM card, Grocery Cards, Video rental cards, etc.
But make no mistake, it will never be required at the voting booth!

I hate to rain on Tommy's parade, but Bill Clinton was the first to have chips implanted in his body; usually sour cream and onion flavored ones.

Screw 'im.
I'll take my chances and die in the street before I get an implant.

This describes Revelation 17 exactly. To expedite the chipping process they already have buses to come to your city.

Receive the mark (chip) and there is no forgiveness. Please be warned and take this very seriously.

It sure does to me. It might not be the actual mark but it could be a precursor to it. Get people used to having one and they might not fight getting a second one.

There will come a time when people can't buy or sell without one. Now THAT's a scary thought.

One chip will not be enough, just like Lays.Or Utz's Russet Flavored Potato Chips. Especially a big bag.

Yep. If it's not, it's close enough that I would never allow them to put one in me or my family.
