RFID tracking chips, what's your opinion?

Update:

Either inserted into humans (has been & is being done) but also on passports and drivers licenses...REAL ID ... is the same technology as in RFID chips but the whole idea of being tracked is wrong...no matter how they do it. It has too much opportunity to be misused and there is no doubt that would happen....already is.

Update 2:

It is being spun as helpful and I can see why one might think...'yea...sounds good' but it opens a whole can of worms that obliterates any good that may or may not have been originally intended.

    And people thought I was nuts for wearing the aluminum foil hat ;-)

    There are holders you can buy to carry these foul instruments of trespass which shield them from intrusion. As for insertion, when it becomes mandatory I will know the time has come to stop working within the system and take the outlaw trail.

    Those have been fantastic in my job for tracking equipment. At any moment, I can tell exactly where any tracked piece of gear is in the building within a few feet.

    To an outsider though, sort of like the article you link to, they are just serial numbers. Without the building's network of scanners that can triangulate the location of each RFID chip and the database that knows what serial number is assigned to each piece of equipment, someone would just know that there were several thousand RFID chips nearby if they sat in my parking lot.

    If the babies are at school with their instructors like they are meant to be, it does not be so puzzling to choose the place they are for the duration of the day, might it! i think of it could be much less stressful to take roll on the initiating of sophistication than it could be to convince anyone's mothers and fathers to pay $500 in line with uniform jacket so their young babies could be 'bugged'. besides that, if the babies know the 'malicious program' is of their jacket, they are gonna take it off and depart it tossed over the returned of a chair interior the library on a similar time as they take off. That way, they are nevertheless doing regardless of they choose, and whoever is monitering the situation of the chips will think of the baby is examining. it rather is a extensive waste of money and supplies.

    The government may follow my travels all they choose. I find it difficult to believe that any agency would be capable of tracking everybody, all the time, for any purpose. Anyone not wishing to be tracked could simply leave the RFID chipped card or passport somewhere

    I SUPPORT FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF RFID CHIPS! The American constituency needs to DEMAND the placement of RFID in ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS! Governor Mark Sanford's little excursion to Argentina AT THE CONSTITUENCY'S COST for his mistress pleasures is PROOF that we NEED to track these incompetent boobs!!!

    If you're in the business of identity theft I'd say your job just got a lot easier. Personally. I don't like them and will avoid them whenever possible.

    Does not sound good

    That would be nice if they planted them in all the whitey scum. So we could avoid them.

    The detector would say "caution whitey scum approaching".
