1984 Has Arrived
Posted by SPIIDERWEB™ | 3:19 AM

This is just so bizarre. Not the idea, but that anyone in government would even consider it.
Scott Silverman, Chairman of the Board of VeriChip Corporation, has proposed implanting the company's RFID tracking tags in immigrant and guest workers. He made the statement on national television on May 16.

Silverman was being interviewed on "Fox & Friends." Responding to the Bush administration's call to know "who is in our country and why they are here," he proposed using VeriChip RFID implants to register workers at the border, and then verify their identities in the workplace. He added, "We have talked to many people in Washington about using it...."

I read somewhere that it won't be long before most people will volunteer to have such implants. They won't think twice about it because it is just another step in technology that they've become accustomed to accepting.
