Logically, to be effective, the program would have to cooerce compliance with forceful implantation

Considering the amount of armed Christians, you'd have a bloody revolution on hand soon after they tried this.

I have some implants of my own for those who would chip me, they come in:

115g

185g

55g

123g

147g

I'm not convinced thay'd actually tell anyone they were injecting the chips -- easier to mark everyone, and then announce that a multi-year initiative has come to fruition..

"Oh, Mrs. SMith, your new baby needs one more injection before s/he can leave the hospital -- don't worry, it's nothing serious, but the AMA and the governemtnhave added it to the mandatory vaccinations..."

Any complaints or objections would be met with, "But you've already been living with it for years, and it hasn't caused problems..."

Scarily plausible.
