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.

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.

Now all I can picture is the Child Tracker helmets from South Park.

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.

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.

I have seen these chips on Fox News in reference to parents having them implanted in their children as an anti-kidnapping measure. Even so, it is disturbing. I remember laughing at That Poppins Woman giving a dissertation on how everyone was going to have a "microchip implanted in their butt". I am laughing less at it now.

It's like the plot of bad movie it's so predictable. A rash of child kidnappings in the media (do they really all happen at once) galvanizes attention on the issue and in steps the 'solution,' just in time to piggyback the sentiment and leverage into a crescendo of demands from leftist lawmakers and other fools.

We could teach people the Constitution, the bible, and let them carry guns. But, it's probably too late for that.

I hear that the Neron Corp. will soon corner the market....

I am reminded of the solution proposed by the "Terminator".
