Sounds like it's time to start work on an RFID-carried virus!

EVER.

FUCKING EVER.
I shoved a Pentium 4 in your butt while you slept at Akon 2003...

Wow, it sounds like he certainly has a valid reason to dislike microchips in the body then.

I thought u said u hated that game

Think of this as if you were a parent, i mean it's not even abnormal to hear about kids getting bullied to extreme extents or even killed at school these days. While I don't agree with it, I can understand the reasons.

As for blocking, you could use faraday cages (they make them for passports now since they have all their data on RFID) but a simple change to the method of delivery and even attempting to use a technology to block the data transfer would fall under the interference regulation guidelines the FCC controls - $10,000 fine per offense.

I like that you referred to fines from an american organization right after bitching about that no one bothered to read the article saying it was in england. Nice one.

Ok, now that I know what country this is in, I'll just point out England has the most CCTV cameras of anywhere else in the world. It's not surprising they're tracking children, what's surprising is that they can't already.

Big Brother is watching you. Literally.

Seems Orwell's warning has been forgotten.

That little space there is meant to break up trains of thought. Figured i'd do that instead of posting twice about the fact that it was in the U.K. then a separate response to other U.S. related things that other people were talking about.

Meh. Orwell's warning was ignored 6 months after it had been released. :/

on the link

ADS says the device, which is the size of a wristwatch-face and may become even smaller, could be used to find kidnapped children, locate young kids who wander away from parents and track teens who participate in at-risk behavior.

Wow I already can tell that "Street Surgery" will be a new thing to come if it comes to that much of a Desperate Measure. or like Godix said there will be ways to find a air hole out of such as foil or some sort of plastic metal to block transmission. So your looking @ a child who's gonna be getting their ass kicked until the kidnapper destroys that chip.

The most controversial of these gadgets is an under-the-skin personal location device from Applied Digital Solutions. Using Global Positioning Satellite technology, a microchip surgically implanted in the body finds children and notifies parents of their whereabouts.

Under-the-skin, Digital Positioning Satellites, Surgically Implanted chips in the body.
Have we not learned from Cell Phones? Health Anyone?

Cossolotto says VeriChip ($200 plus $9.95 a month), an under-the-skin, tamper-proof method of identifying one person against another.

Ok Fair deal for something thats only gonna cost you more and more. Almost be cheaper to give a kid a Cell phone(same thing health wise).

could help prevent kidnappings like the one of Utah teen Elizabeth Smart

Elizabeth Stupid...Most kids never did get many chances to actually to escape as much as she had.

They're already talking about embedding these things in soldiers for tracking purposes. Makes being a PoW a lot more dangerous - they gotta cut off an arm or leg before you get to the hideout.
