YZ, the scary part is we will do it voluntarily. They are already spreading stories about how a simple imbedded chip can give hospitals your entire medical history in one scan. At some point, I expect it will be a monetary burden to not have such a chip in your bod. "This procedure is $500 for those with a chip and $50,000 for you dinosaurs who demand hard copy. BTW, your insurance will cover 60% of the $500, whichever way you go." Then it will ooze out into other areas. "Sooooo, you think you deserve Social Security benefits, eh? Just let me scan you and you will have a check in 30 seconds. What, you don't have a chip? Then go stand in that line for two months." We can't count on the ACLU to protect us because they are a "terrorist organization," according to Bill O'Reilly. Seniors can't count on the AARP, because Bush has put a target on their back. So, will a microchip be the "mark of the beast?"
