The Elderly to Be Tracked Like Animals

[Hazcat]

RF chips...hey what's the problem?  Not only the elderly, but people with six toes should be tracked.  Everyone knows people with six toes are dangerous.  Like those dang gun owners...we need to include an RF tag in every firearm...the government isn't going to take them from law abiding gun owners.  It would only be used to help eliminate crime..so it's good, right?  Don't you get that?  Why would you not be for something that's good and eliminates crime....you aren't anti-American are you?   

No, don't worry, as long as you don't do anything bad it won't matter.  Oh, and it's impossible to link all of those RF receivers at the doors of Wal Mart, Dillards, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. to track your movements....we won't put them on gasoline pumps and in restaurants.  Don't worry...trust us.  We won't misuse them.  We will only put them on bad people.  There are no plans to put receivers on subways, stadiums or city streets at this time.  Yes, there was some consideration to make RF tags mandatory on people who have written letters to their senators and congressman, but that was shelved....we're only going to make people who have written angry letters to the White House get them...not normal people like you and me...only the ones that wrote inflammatory letters that threaten what our government needs to do.

You do support your government, don't you?  
 

Exactly how it will be proposed.  Good job, Rastus.

they already can do that with cell phones.

Exactly!  However, a cellphone is an optional device, and you can do like I do - leave it lay on the office desk whenever possible.  If you have Dish or Direct TV they can track what you watch as well.  Whenever you plug in the telephone line they can down load what your watching habits are. 

The "green movement" is in on this however.  They promote implants as a way of going to a paperless society by using the implant for all financial transactions and identification.  Do away with all licenses, id cards, passports, social security cards, credit cards, cash, and checks.  It will also be able to carry your medical history and speak for you when you can't, don't want to, or they don't care what you have to say 

Time to read "1984" again.  Haven't read it since high school.

I should get out my 1984 edition of it too. I haven't read it since then.

Rastus can clearly see the problem even if a few others don't.

"More than 3 million surveillance cameras are estimated to be in use across the United States, which prompted shoe purveyor Kenneth Cole to advertise: "You are on a video camera an average of 10 times a day. Are you dressed for it?""

"Even in Russia, where the St. Petersburg police have been lobbying for $250 million to install 50,000 security cameras around the city, critics are warning of the potential for abuse. Already bootleggers are selling police databases at flea markets."

Hundreds of thousands of surveillance cameras across America track our behavior every day.

"Britain has 4.2 million surveillance cameras — 20% of the world's closed circuit cameras, according to the nation's independent Information Commissioners Office. There is a camera for every 14 people. An average Londoner is captured on camera 300 times a day, the office reported."

It's so bad that vigilantes are going around burning up and destroying cameras. If people are already doing that because of cameras in public areas, how do you think they would react to locator chips being implanted in their bodies?

One other thing, missed by 99.995% of the people are loudspeakers.  Loudspeakers are like a microphone in reverse, properly oriented they move with sounds...that movement of the speaker surface generates an electrical current with the coil.  Just like a microphone though not designed for such.  It is possible to listen in on conversations over loudspeakers...turn them on and it negates that.
