I don't see the article?

So not content with wanting to have the power to pillage our bodies after we die, the government now wants to insert foreign objects into us while we're alive. The Ministry of Justice is wanting to insert microchips under the skin of prisoners as an alternative to tags. It's exactly the sort of thing that tyrannical regimes wouldn't think twice of doing. You can be sure that if this sort of technology had been available to Hitler of Stalin, they would have used it on most of their populations.

Has this government completely lost sight of the concept of civil liberties? I totally understand that argument that if you are found guilty of a crime and are sentenced you lose your liberty. But wearing an electronic tag and having a chip inserted into your body are two very different things.

I hope that anyone who values the concept of individual freedom will be against this lunatic proposal.

These chips will still have to be close to a base station to log in like the current tags they use. However these chips can be cloned rather easily unlike the tags.

At least we can take some solace in the fact that they are incompetent fascists - I dread to think what they'd come up with if they knew what they were doing.

But isnt this just th tip of an impending iceberg? I predict that it wont be too long before we start hearing about all the 'benefits' of being chipped - and you just know that the threat of terrorism will be central to it, although I did read somewhere that in Spain clubbers are being offered an implantable chip as a way of gettijg into clubs easily. Fear and hedonism - what better way than bribing people into accepting this stuff.

microchips for everyone! what a great way to kontrol the masses.

I predict...
...a new backstreet industry will emerge to provide a microchip removal service.
