RFID to track your every move...

[Spiderman]

For many years now Govts have been trying to find a way to give us all an RFID chip but have come up against some very strong resistance.

From firstly trying to secretly place them into Gillette shaving products (everyone men and women shave something and Gillette is the market leader so it made sense to join forces)

To M&S sowing it into certain clothing ranges to "assist with stock control"

The UK (and other) Govts with the "biometic" passports and ID cards and tried to force it upon us all by stealth, only when you renew your pasport will you see the RFID chip in the new one. You get no choice if you want it or not.

And today i spotted this... http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/a...rms/article.do
Easy to get kids to do as they're told when their school sanctions them being tracked for utterly spurious reasons.

And now this idea of VIPs having their bodies chipped in an attempt to make us think "well if these (so called) important, rich people are having it done then it'd be cool if i had one too" in an attempt to make it socialy acceptable to live your life with a chip in you. ooh how cool is that. Not.

George Orwell would either be laughing his head off at how easily we all got roped into this "Nu Future" or he'd be calling us to arms to overthrow the evil oppresors who want to know our every move, second by second 365 days a year.

couple all this with the new secuirty questions we will all be asked to answer when leaving this country and it makes me womder why the powers that be want to know so much about us average joes....yet do so little to catch major criminals.

Like I mentioned on the Government loses CD with everyones bank details thread,it amazes me that no one cares that they hold so much information about us.The thread goes on and on about blame,incompetance,junior clerks,encryption or not and security,but hardly anyone sees a problem in all that information being held centrally in the first place.
A big "I told you so" from Mr Orwell coming soon.

The first reply to this thread proves your point very well i think BB.

No Lone Wolf, its not a conspiracy...its a fact.

And i cant see why Govts are being allowed to keep all this info on us all.

Some other schools are finger printing the pupils which is bad anough but at least its not something that tracks their every movement.

I wonder how long i'll have to sit and wait for the "if you got nothing to hide..." comments?
