Armed with RFID

Joseph Krull, an executive at Flanders, N.J.-based Virtual Corp., had a doctor stick an RFID tag from VeriChip under his skin on Jan. 10. The residual blemish on his arm looks like a mosquito bite.

The US. is being desensitized
by February 15, 2005 7:05 PM PST
The United States has been desensitized by the evil that has proliferated our world we live in. This man needs to understand the implications of what is to come. As crazy as it sounds to some this Electronic ID which has just passed the House of Representatives is just one more step toward desensitizing this world into believing it will be a safer place to live if we just take the chip in our drivers license or just put it under our skin. Although we may not be able to prevent this from being implemented we can pray for an out pouring of the Holy Ghost just as in Acts 2:38. We can pray for souls to be won and eyes to be opened to as what is happening and going to happen to this world. Soon things will change very quickly and there will be a day when our rights will completely be taken from us and we will neither be able to buy or sell unless we have the mark of the beast. I know it may sound so far fetched to many but I pray you will read for yourselves Revelation 14:9 and Revelation 13:16-17 and see what will happen and escape this plan of the mark of the beast by being saved by the blood of the lamb, Jesus Christ who said we must be born of the water and of the spirit. Read John 3:3-8 and then read how to receive the spirit of the Lord in Acts 2:37-39. Pray saints pray!

Sounds logical in some situations

With the information that would be available to scanners of the arm being self-chosen medical information, this appears to simply be an extension of Medic Alert bracelets and necklaces. Problem is, how would hospitals and medics know to look for a little red dot on an arm? I "run" with a rescue squad and we don't look for inconspicuous red specks as pictured. Perhaps a tattoo should mark the spot? : - )

Not for me!

Just think. Someone with an RFID reader can just walk past the guy and gather all the information that's on the chip!

Not for me! No thank you.

US citizens afraid of religious punishment
by sunnymix February 17, 2005 5:26 PM PST
for having barcode on their back of head, now excuse themselves from the religious punishment by having the RFID on their arm!

personally i think it's a great idea for people with medical diability or risks in case of emergency, or even kids to keep them away from any problems.

but it's the rather lukewarm response from the fundamental right wing conservatives who wouldn't say anything for this ungodly act of betrayal.
