We knew they'd start chipping people some day...

That's fine. Doesn't bother me but I agree that governmentally mandated implantation would be bad (not so much that it is unacceptable in private employment practice) and would generally oppose it.

I can't see why the idea of implantation itself is such a problem, as it doesn't bother me but that's a different issue from the "permanently tracked" one. Regardless of implantation we're already approaching permanently tracked status for people who have access to the right databases. And if implanted RFID doesn't come along we'll just slide towards other built in identification markers such as fingerprinting (which is what I was referencing earlier, we have a fingerprint scanner for access to our data center; if I don't submit to it I don't have my job), physiology (WDW's park entry machiens), retinal scanning, facial recognition, etc.

I don't much care if the RFID chip is in my arm or on my arm, but personally if offered the convenience I'm going to choose in.
