Didn’t a school district in California try this and the parents said no thanks? I hope they do the same thing here also, where do schools come off thinking they have the right to tag someone else’s kids?

Yes - that school district wanted to introduce RFID chips into school ID cards. A reader can be purchased, by anyone, for around a hundred dollars..... and can be used near the sidewalk as the kids walk by - and Bingo! - there is the name and address of the kid on the reader.

CA passed a statewide moratorium. I forget when it expires.

But while fighting about this, it came out that one of the big medical insurance companies had spent a quarter of a million dollars on chips for its patients...... and it will one day want to use them.

Thanks for the update, this should be done throughout the country. I'm not quite sure what interest medical insurance companies would have but they will never force one of their chips on me.
