Don’t put it in anything that I buy, not in brand new clothes, not in anything, not in any object I buy in a store, don’t put it in my car, don’t put it in anything I am likely to have on my person, in my car, or in my house and… well, if you don’t do that, then you can do whatever you want with it.
I am opposed to mandatory installation of RFID chips in people.
Their use on staff id cards for secure identification and access control to secure areas is a valid use.
Mandatory ID cards chipped with RFIDs is a cause for concern if people must always carry them in their private life.
Passports and travel documents would be a good application for such technology.
If you do alittle investigating about this whole thing you will begin to see why our President was so very anxious to push this HealthCare Reform so quickly. It has nothing to do with our well being, but rather this whole RFID business. Check out the link.
You don’t expect me to treat a youtube video as an authoritative source do you?
I only expect you to just be very aware of what is going on in the world today. Do some investigating on your own. Check things out for yourself.
I agree with @Dr Lawrence. Youtube is not a research station. Youtube is a hotspot for popculture and the pointless, but not credible research.
Show me exactly in the bill where is says that – word for word. Don’t give me links to Youtube or paranoia blogs.
And what do you gain by posting these questions about conspiracy theories that you call “current events?” The public is already scared enough.
RFID and similar ID technologies have the potential to become very pervasive across many fields including retail. medicine, identity and the military. The technology has existed for quite some time to track physical objects and interact with them. E911 is an example of a technology for “helping grandma when she falls on the floor” when in actuality it is more useful for tracking drug dealers and criminal activity. The new passports are another example along with store loyalty cards. If you don’t want to be tracked, use anonymizers on your web connections, don’t allow cookies and downloads, don’t use MS or Apple SW products, use cash on your transactions, don’t travel far and shut off your cell phone except when you make a call. Otherwise you are tracked and data is collected.
I would love to have one in my palm (the body part, not the retro electronic scheduler, which I have. I actually has a Palm VX which I have brought back from the grave 3 times, unfortunatly I could not save the backlight. I might install Linux on it…) Where was I? Oh right. I would love to have one to open my house or start my car etc. Ypou can get stick-on RFID tags for $50 for a starter pack (a reader and 20 or so stickers) just google tickitag.
My question is not meant to scare anyone, but rather to get people to be more aware of what is going on around them. It is time to do alittle research of your own because I think that CHANGE is a comin’ and we need to really stop looking at the tree infront of us and start looking at the entire forest. If this is actually reality and not some BS on you tube, what would you do? Have you even thought about it?
@druebeall Sure.
A. I type in “NWO” in Google. What are the first ten results? Blogs and newspaper opinions. Paranoia blogs and newspaper opinions. I don’t consider either reliable: they often have helpful opinions, but not straight and true, unbiased, to the cold metal facts. I am more comfortable with sites like Snopes.com, but those kinds of sites are few and far in between. That’s the problem with “a’lil’ research.”
B. If there was a big, take over the world plan…why would the government allow it to by shown on Youtube (the most popular video site in the world)?
Maybe change is a’ coming. Maybe’s its not. I’m not going to worry my lil’ ole self abouts it—not wen nothin’ solid is a starin’ me in the eyes!
Sweet, I don’t know what this is but where can I get one? anyone got a link to what this is? a real link
Once the costs for RFID fall below a critical threshold many of the grocery store cashiers will be out of a job. A sad prospect.
The video looks to be the work of a paranoid conspiracy nut. RFID is inevitable technology. How it will be used and by who and when is up for debate, but it’s going to be a while before a significant number of people have them in their bodies or they become the main currency. But it will likely happen someday, and it won’t be all that scary.
As for modern use, I have an RFID chip in my ID for work, it’s great. I use it to get into the parking garage, the office, or another office across the country. And all I have to do is get my wallet close to the reader. In the parking lot I don’t even have to roll my window down, which is great when the weather is bad. I really should get one implanted in my dog in case he gets lost too. My wife has one for her parking garage too. It’s so much faster than even swiping a magnetic strip. My passport has one too, but I haven’t really seen any use for it from my standpoint yet. It didn’t speed me through passport control. Many people also have them in their credit cards, and probably don’t even know it. This can be a security issue, so if you know you have RFID in your credit card, you might want to get a shielded wallet. But remember, RFID has a very limited range, usually a few feet at most. It’s not like they can track it by satellite.
I don’t mind it, as long as people have the option to turn them off if they want to. If it’s a product, I want the option to turn the RFID off once I buy it. If it’s my credit card, I want the option to have the RFID removed if I think it necessary.
As for mandatory implantation of RFID chips into people, well, they can give me one when they implant it into my cold, dead hand. (To paraphrase Charlton Heston…)
The military has been looking for a way to store medical history on solders in a way it can be read in field hospitals instantaneously, aka DARPA type projects. Implanted RFID was a prime candidate since it would need to be surgically removed from a soldier or the implanted area blown off to make the device ineffective. There are many classes of RFID devices with varying ranges along with smart card ID technology. Some devices can be powered by the radio frequency energy that interrogates them. Others sleep until they “hear a signal”. Just Google this – US military RFID medical records . The army already RFID tags medical record files. The company mentioned in the video has been pitching the army for years about implanting enlisted personnel, immigrants, etc so this isn’t hype.
