Y'all are already numbered, you carry around driver's licenses and social security ID all the fucking time.
That's a card people; a very, very different thing altogether. You can choose to take it with you, you can choose to wrap it up in your tin foil hat, and you can choose to microwave IT to kill the RFID signal if you'd like... In case you didn't catch the joke, I didn't REALLY microwave myself, that shit hurts. :thumbsup:
So you nuked your body, what about the #1 tracking device you use? Your damn phone will tell the :costumed-smiley-013gov way more than some chip buried under your skin. The :alert:wide spread use of cell phones has and will do far more damage than any implanted chip could ever dream of. Oh you use burner phones? Good luck with that when they start back tracking the calls of your acquaintances. Financial transactions are gaining popularity by the minute over mobile devices. The next big push will be your medical. The more dependent we become of our tracking devices the more control Big Brother has over its population.
Phones are a more serious tracking threat, it's true... But they can be turned off until you need them or even left at home. Since none of us can disagree with having the ABILITY to be tracked, such as a map navigation program (google maps), then we have to simply live with the downside that requires...
I do see a day when they start selling cell phones that are Guaranteed untrackable by anyone when the gps is turned off. As it is now they are required by law to stay trackable for 911 calls' sake. (Oh yeah and the feds, too. No biggie.)
Medical implantations have already started though; seniles need them to be tracked around hospitals. It's only a matter of time until the next phase of people accept them: All non-libertarians with medial issues. Considering the size of the Boomer generation that'll be a huge jump, perhaps up to 100 million people(!) and as I understand it, the marketing has already started for this phase. Doctors will carry out the rest.
Still, until the day comes when those are forced in ppl who don't want them, no one's going to raise an alarm. It's like watching a car wreck in super-slow-motion. Just sad.
