Comments on: Dumbest tech bill so far this year?

You be the judge, but a California state senator has worked himself into a righteous lather over RFID.

[Sematary]

It may seem stupid

But you can count on the feds trying to implement mandatory RFID implants at some point in the future. They will probably start with newborns, feeding parents the line that it is for the child's own protection so that they can't be kidnapped, blah, blah blah.
This bill is a good start to putting the kabosh on any plans by the feds to pull something so Orwellian but well within their greedy little power trip.
Congrats to this gentleman for getting this law moving.

Isn't that the idea, pass a bill, limit abuse?

I think you are just being a jerk. Are you one of those cynical people who just walk around looking for someone to roast? I know a lot of the political front is not doing what they are supposed to be doing. Could YOU handle the responsibility of making decisions for the greater good of millions of people is spite of what these people will think or do to you? Until you do, why don't you shut the F*** up.

Common Sense: All great things that have been invented have been abused by debased minds.

Do you think it was Einstein's idea to nuke the hell out of people, or did he feel misunderstood?

What about a gun? They are just fine. You are the one who chooses what to do with it. People still knock off stores. The person who chooses to do so is abusing the gun.

RFID: great technology. I work with RF all day, it's nothing to be afraid of. But it makes me sick to think of what someone can get away with if they have the right lawyer.

I think the bill is COMMON SENSE.

And so.... why are you whining again?

Have you heard of MKULTRA????

But come on, dude. If we reach the point where Big Brother is forcing folks to implant RFID chips into humans, we're all going to be in trouble.

A hell of a lot of people "unwittingly" received shock "therapy" and ungodly does of pure LSD in order to see if the CIA could wipe the brain clean.

Gee, I know thats just paranoia right??

dumest bill so far

not so dumb if they can do it yo prisoners and
miltary then it is only a matter of time before they will try it on everyone in the name of national security

[make_or_break]

Not so dumb, after all

An even darker element to RFID implant technology that apparently was buried some time ago during animal testing: there were apparent links to an increased frequency of malignant tumors in lab observations. Sort of forgot to mention that in the PR material touting this as the ultimate in ID tech.

So...do you really want that (probably) easily hackable, cancer-giving ID chip stuck into your soft fleshy parts, after all?
