How About a Chip in Your Hand, Instead

This might go, but if we have terrorists on the loose, does anyone think they will carry such ID. No, this will be to help keep track of anti-government sentiment, I suspect. Why not just inject all of us with an RFID chip in our hand or a small IC in our forehead, and we can just be scanned everywhere we go.

Microwave it for five seconds.

Get your hearts right with God, everyone....

No, no, no, no... We do NOT want to got here yet. Wait until I’m dead. Thank you.

This would make everything soo convenient, how wonderful. Say, doesn’t the Bible have something to say about that? Or am I cornfused with the ObamaNation of Desolation?

I have long thought the magnetic strip on the back of driver’s licenses would be a great place to put the sort of data you have to provide over and over and over and have to do by hand most every time. It would be just as accurate as that you do by hand, or the poor clerk has to do by hand while the line waits behind you.

I know such things are replete with opportunities for misuse and abuse, but almost anything is these days and it would save more time and effort than it would pose a risk for most people.

Yep.....:o)

Is that true? a plain ole microwave will neutralize the chip?

One of my friends had his military ID microwaved as a prank. The chip was inop afterwards. He had to get a new ID to log in to his computer.

Enhanced driver's licenses have built-in radio chips providing an identifying number or information that can be accessed by a remote reading unit while the license is inside a wallet or purse.

I'm gonna make some nice spending money selling cute metal cases for these driver's licenses.

Woof! Gobmint gonna own me & care for me like I’m a dumb animal that may go astray.

Capitalist. All that’s needed in a hunk of aluminum foil. Granted, it won’t be cute, but it would work.

I suspect embedding anything will be far too obvious, since scripture is quite specific about the use of "the mark of the beast" to curtail buying and selling on the part of those who are part of the resistance.

How much easier it will be to simply require computer usage that does facial (forehead) or finger (hand) scan to login. Those softwares already exist - it's just a matter of being willing to use them....when they are no longer voluntary.....

Look at the source, then look at the source for the source. The article alluded to chips being used in every license and then only talked about enhanced licenses.

The EDL is simply a substitute for a passport that can be used at land and sea ports only. You don't have to get one. It is meant as an optional means of convenience for those that frequently cross the border. Other options include the new passport card or a Nexus speed lane card.

I don't know whether you can really scan these from a distance or not. When you present a chipped passport or enhanced license the customs officer has to place it in a reading device.

Guess I’ll have to wear a burqa or ski mask to the next tea party. I know what . . . .ha ha I’m not tellin’.
