Heard on the news this morning, May 10th the first family will have these chips (http://www.adsx.com/prodservpart/verichip.html) implanted under their skin. It's a stripped down version of Digital Angel (http://www.digitalangel.net/) - it does not have GPS active, only medical info. Looking for article about the family and their decision to go ahead with the procedure, will post when I find it. It had to do with the dad's medical condition. Suppose to simplify his treatments or something..
Here is the parent company: Applied Digital Solutions (http://www.adsx.com/)
Another tidbit:

Give it 5 years and see where it's at and who controls it and it's info ....
And you think you are paraniod now :)

I have a Nephew who is very sick. He has cystic fibrosis, and has many allergies. His life is one hostpital trip after another. While I do not fully understand the utility of these chips, I do look forward to anything that can help him survive another year because I don't get to see him often enough.

BUT, that is just the beginning:
"PLD" - can you say "Big Brother", "1984", Mark of the Beast ???
On the flip side, the stock was is cheap and sure to go up :)

Yes, theres a "one world conspiracy theorist" in my workplace who tried to get me wound up about this. But there's a long jump between voluntary use of a medical implant, and manditory issuance of a monitoring device. God help me, I'm going to use an analogy here: Just because abortions are legal doesn't mean that you can't have kids. We have the technology to limit population in a brutal and authoritarian way. But we don't. In the same sense, I do not believe that we will all be chipped any time soon, if at all.
But then, I use my credit cards all the time without fear the Government is going to use my consumer info against me. And I use my library card too. I have no priavacy filters on my Internet access either. But then again, my wife used to work for the NSA, and now she's a contractor for the CIA so I guess my life is forfeit either way lol.

We have some clients that are terrified of being kidnapped - or members of their families being kidnapped.
I think a little chip with GPS capability imbedded in their (or their families') skin would be just the ticket for them! You could track down the kidnappers in a "jiffy"...or at a minimum find a body so that you aren't wondering if a relative is alive for the rest of their life.
Also, wouldn't it be useful to get one attached to some of the Taliban dudes lounging in Cuba (without their knowledge), then let them go and see where they go? Once they get back into one of their training camps simply download the GPS data into a Tomahawk and "kaboom"!

here's the family's story:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,49303,00.html
"Jacobs, his wife, Leslie, and their 14-year-old son, Derek, could become the nation's first family to be fitted with the device, called VeriChip. It is awaiting approval from the Food and Drug Administration. "
"The chip is expected to cost around $200 and the scanner between $1,000 and $3,000. Applied Digital plans to give away chip readers to hospitals and ambulance companies in hopes they will become standard equipment.
The timing of a decision from the FDA is unclear, but approval is probably several months away at the earliest. "
How about less than 3 weeks?
Call me paraniod, but something is up...
I know, I saw Al Pacino in Devil's Advocate again this weekend, I know!
The end is near! Repent!

FWIW... I've lived through about 5 'Ends of the World'
we all know about Y2k...
and 1981...
and the year the planets all lined up...
before all that it was the onset of 'apocolypse' type weather heralding the second coming...
or some that believed that SSN's were the mark of the beast....
yawn

Hmmm...
I find this quite disturbing. The medical appication is a valid point... but if you don't see the potential of this device......

Does anyone know where on the body the device is to be implanted?

Maybe in the colon. That way even if the PCT's aren't full of toejam, at least the device will be

fear

in fact, if you want to think on it a bit...
and are worried about 'big brother'...
you should get off the computer becuase it broadcasts more information about you than you probably want or are aware of.
at the very least...
-
They are trying to set an example for us to follow.
They are the first family after all.
I will never have such device implanted in my body, and hopefully when I have children, I will manage to keep them safe too.
Scary toejam :mad:

I AM worried about Big Brother.
Haven't seen such a stupid show in years! Keep on putting this kind of trash on TV and in some centuries, WE will turn into Soylent Green... only just by evolution :D

Big brother does not need to have chips installed in people to monitor them. What we have in western socities even now is quite enough.
-
Don't worry it's just a "flu" shot with a really big needle or a small pox "vaccine" just in case those crazy terrorists spread a little of it around. I'd think they could get it into you if "they" really needed/wanted too - especially when it gets smaller.
Funny thing is, in a generation, two at the most, it will be marketed/sold as required. Your credit card/food stamp/ATM debit card/med info burned into it. PPL will be lining up to have it implanted.
Like most things, the chip would be a great tool in the right hands - a nightmare in the wrong ones.... but if it gets too bad in the future, we'll just send Arnold as the Terminator back into the past and reset history so that it is never invented :)
-
same old story, different item.
As for fear of possibilities
it's a waste of time.
the fearful one dies a million deaths
My time is better spent ;)

Could mom sewing nametags on jr's clothes lead to a government id program?
Perhaps it will only lead to knowing which clothes are jr's.

born on date on beer???
Government conspiracy I say!

If the Government knows what beer you're drinking, they will know what beer to put the chemicals in.
