Um...guys? Implanted locator chips? It's finally for real. I'll bet the government is just tickled pink. For "Anti-Kidnapping" they say? Right. Let's see how long it takes for them to go to the LOCUST system (Locator Of Citizen Uniform Subdermal Tracker)and make it mandatory. I hypothesize that all mandatory situations started as voluntary until they gained widespread acceptance and became "commonplace" in the eyes of the gullible public.
We may have a new profession coming out in the near future as these skin bugs become mandatory:
"Personal Pest Control"

More hype from a company in trouble.
ADSX last traded at 53 cents.

Here is one coming on the market next month:
Peace of Mind for Parents.
Cool for Kids.
Children have a natural urge to explore. Parents have a natural desire to know their children are safe.
That's why Wherify created the world's
first Personal Locator to help you determine your child's location in minutes. Wherify's GPS Personal Locator helps keep loved ones safe by combining Wherify's patented technology with the U.S. Department of Defense's multi-billion dollar Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites plus the largest 100% digital, nationwide PCS wireless network.
So relax. Now you can have peace of mind 24 hours a day while your child is the high tech envy of the neighborhood!

They were built on and have been running on hype. Take a look under their skirts and you will find pump-and-dumper types.
The technology they were pushing has been dumped. It would never have worked anyway. It would have taken the installation of receivers all over the place to work. It never made sense.
Companies that are building "panic" type products that run over the current cell nets have a better idea. They can use technology that's in place. ADSX is moving in the direction they should have long ago. But probably too late. I'm surprised they can still find suckers to dump money into them.

These implanted chips have been around for years. They have used on animals for tracking strays. Most states now have mandatory placement when a stray cat, dog, or rabbit is found. The technology is the same, however each year the technologies ability to store information becomes greater, including global positioning in the works.
The chip it self is the size of a grain of rice, and inserted with a large syringe type device. The implant is full of small holes which allows muscle tissue to grow through it, keeping it in place and almost impossible to remove with out damaging surrounding muscle tissue.
Since the beginning of this implant technology, there was talk of making the chip available for children, and there are already lobbyist barking at congressional leaders to make it mandatory. Scary yes.

Old news. Why do you think all of these "child kidnapping" stories are receiving "Breaking News" coverage on the cable news stations and newspapers? If you do not give people a reason to buy a product, it will never sell. So now, someday soon, all school districts will mandate that all children have these implants. Watch and see.
To: DGallandro
I agree that this is frightening technology with a serious potential for abuse, but I bet there are a few parents who wish their children had had it.

All this tech is great...... we can locate missing or kidnapped kids, we can monitor released criminals and sex offenders, we can located shipped packages, trucks, busses, planes....hell, we can now track or locate any person or object.
Employers can keep track of every move their employees make, speeding tickets can be emailed to offenders, every move anybody makes can be monitered........
I sure don't envy the future my kids will face.

The chip it self is the size of a grain of rice, and inserted with a large syringe type device.I think we're talking about two different things here. The implanted chips which "have been around for years" are merely identification chips, not GPS-compatable locating devices. My dog has an ID chip. Should he run away or be stolen, and be so fortunate as to end up at a vet or shelter, he can be identified. But he can't be located via satellite.

Actually, There are several companies playing this game. I can only hope that it's pump-and-dump hype. Because if they start making this mandatory in schools, my child WILL be home-schooled, and will learn something valueable he can use in the real world, not some feel-good propaganda fed him by the government bureaucracy in the name of "diversity" where there are no "wrong" answers.
But the implications on the invasion of privacy using this product, or even its concept, is frightening.
The frightening part is not the technology; It is the ability of an oppressive government, by which I mean OURS, to make it mandatory.
Enough said.

It's an IBM company play...don't worry. The local school districts in the next 2-3 years will mandate this. It's a great long term penny stock play.
To: roylene
Whoops. I didn't read your post carefully enough before responding; you did refer to global positioning "in the works." Still, I'd have to think we're still a long way from implantable GPS devices. As long as they're in the form of bracelets, necklaces, belts, or (in the case of our 4-legged friends) collars, a kidnapper need only dispose of the hardware.

Homeschool even if they dont :)

Sheesh. What a loon you are, respectfully.
