Cant you for once stay on Topic, sink?

You post an article about tracking sexual molesters, and that's not the topic?

Tracking ex-criminals ought to be part of the sentence. Know where these cretins are, all the time.

The rest of your speculation is tin-foil stuff.

GPS receivers are now the "mark of the beast"? I thought it was the new design on our paper money. Or was that the old design? Used to be threats of barcodes, tattooed on the forehead or hand. Before that, it was credit cards. And for the longest time, it was fear of being assigned a Social Security number.

This is going to be a fun thread to watch.

Next time, read the headline and think a little.

Tracking parolees may be authorized legitimately. Tracking criminals who have already paid their debt to society is a different issue.

I agree with RB that the same technology advocated here will probably be used in association with the 'mark of the beast'. It will indubitably be researched to evolve towards a bidirectional neural networking device with the intention of influencing the wearer's thoughts. I suspect such goals are the upper limit closely approaching the 'end time'.

For these reasons, IMHO, RB's association of this technology leading to the mark is prudent.
