"The government would never abuse it though. They'll only track bad people.
Honest."

Of course that was being sarcastic, but they have a way around just tracking bad people that many of the public will accept.

If every child is implanted at birth "so there is never another lost child" they eventually will have a reason to implant everyone. It will start with the children.

With GPS now fitting on a very small microchip it is not long till they know where "our at risk children" are all the time.

It will all start with the "good of the children". Then the first time there is a young woman who is kidnapped and goes missing or found raped and dead they will be able to sell it to the public.. and the masses will buy it. Then how about that senior citizen who gets lost and can't be found for a few days?

It is NOT just the bad guys they want to track or will be able to. Eventually (and sadly) mostly the good citizens will be tracked, only criminals (and illegal immigrants) will not be.

Think anyone will get away without a tracker? How about the chip be necessary to cash your pay check... "it is for your convenience against identity theft" Need to use your SS Medicare benefits and/or get your now government discounted prescription drugs (already mentioned by the dems)?

Will employers be required to scan everyone before they get a job? Hey, the government requires employers to check two forms of ID and get your social security number now.

Not too much of a step to require them to scan your implanted chip. And a small under skin chip is not to much to ask to prevent medicare fraud.. after all it will save bilions

Is this what our founding fathers wanted? Jerry Brown with his ideas and the dems in power makes it more believable than ever.

All these possibilities frighten me because the party who wants to "protect the children, senior citizens, women, minorities, and disadvantaged" is in power now.

Ping...especially the comment "only criminals (and illegal immigrants) will not be" - tracked, that is. After all, illegals down in Texas can walk in to a bank and get a bank loan without being forced to show ID or give a thumbprint, while Joe Average has to submit three forms of identification, a thumbprint, and a DNA sample.
