HARRISBURG, PA – The VeriChip Corporation, a Delray Beach, Fla.-based provider of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems for healthcare, is supporting a Pennsylvania bill that would ban the forced implantation of identification devices in people.

The bill, introduced by Democratic State Rep. Babette Josephs, was unanimously passed by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on June 24 and will go to the Senate for consideration. /snip For article -->

Interesting. I seen a comment that the poster did not think the bill goes far enough. It is interesting that this comes up so quick.

I think it will be forced, but in a different way. In times to come people may find it difficult if not impossible to do certain things without the chip. Things like renting a car, opening a bank account, things like that.

If you think about it, there are many things that used to be voluntary but are now mandated. History will simply repeat itself.

For sure.

I bought my sinus tablets. At one time I was going to pop my drivers license into the microwave. Well- they scan the DL to buy the sinus tabs. (CVS) (one can only purchase x amount as druggies melt down the pills to make meth) So the scanner worked.

Think of the scams that will happen. I seen they are selling anitvirus software for phones now. Enter the smart grid. You may need an anti virus for your everything.

I wondered that they could slip nano RFIDS into vaccines.

My father has dementia. I wouldn't want this in him because he constantly picks at any irritation on his skin. He would be ripping his skin open to get it out.

Forgetting about the privacy implications, a dementia patient is likely to hurt themselves trying to remove it. It's very common for him to rip/scratch at anything and not realize he's bleeding.

For privacy, it could just give an ID number and a phone number to call to tell an answering service that they found an elderly person wandering. The service would then look up his ID number and call the appropriate person - next of kin or nursing home.

As long as I can control the info on the chip to the minimal, I have no problem sticking it in his sneakers though. Hell my pet's tag has my phone number on it. I sure want to find my dad if he gets lost.
