Schoolchildren to be RFID-chipped

Japanese authorities decide tracking is best way to protect kids
The rights and wrongs of RFID-chipping human beings have been debated since the tracking tags reached the technological mainstream. Now, school authorities in the Japanese city of Osaka have decided the benefits outweigh the disadvantages and will now be chipping children in one primary school.
The tags will be read by readers installed in school gates and other key locations to track the kids' movements.
The chips will be put onto kids' schoolbags, name tags or clothing in one Wakayama prefecture school. Denmark's Legoland introduced a similar scheme last month to stop young children going astray.
RFID is more commonly found in supermarket and other retailers' supply chains, however, companies are now seeking more innovative ways to derive value from the tracking technology. US airline Delta recently announced it would be using RFID to track travellers' luggage.
I've been wondering why military and contractors in Iraq don't have these. If someone gets kidnapped, you know where to get them (or drop the 500 pounders if your too late).
I think politicians should be chipped.
I saw the headline and thought about the machine people use to get rid of fallen trees around the yard.
RFID tags should be outlawed unless they can come up with a pocket universal detector/disabler. These things are deadly to our civil liberties. Period.
They are already buffalo chipped.
Isn't there a passage or two in the Bible about the a Mark? (as in symbol, not a name)
Soccer fans in Spain are starting to use hand chips to buy beers as well.
As the experimentation continues - the last book of the Bible becomes a FAR more interesting read.....
And they have tiny little tags on their tushes, that read 'Made in Japan'.
The link to the article does not work.
I figured it out. Take out the 'www' in your path.
Today the backpack, tomorrow, right between the eyes.
You two do know that this story is from Japan and not North Dakota, right?
Yes, and all sensitive hardware at Los Alamos should have them for sure.
Revelation 13: 16-17. He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
im going uot on a limb here, please dont flame me, simply speculation....
what if the Beast ends up being Machine? what if these great Kings forseen are the founders of the industrialized and intellegence gathering world?
far out limb, yes, but thats where we are recieving a mark from. machine.
