JT's non lethal weopon...
Personally I am not freaked out by debt cards and credit cards and stuff. When the veri-chip becomes free or mandatory, I will be first in line.
Well here's a thought... it's not free but this would give the feds an opportunity to weed out the population.
VeriChip gets FDA OK for medical use in U.S.

VeriChip, the world's first implantable radio frequency ID microchip for human use, has been cleared for medical use in the United States by the FDA, the company that makes it said on Wednesday.
The stock price was expected to rise.
In a prepared release, VeriChip Corp., a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions Inc. of Palm Beach, said its system consists of an implantable microtransponder, an inserter, a proprietary hand-held scanner, and secure database containing patient-approved health-care information.
About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip is inserted under the skin in a brief outpatient procedure. Once in, it cannot be seen by the human eye. To read what is in the Veri Chip, a unique 16-digit verification number must be scanned by a company instrument. The captured number in turn links to a database via encrypted Internet access. The health-care information or history stored on the chip can then be read by a doctor, nurse, paramedic or police officer.
Earlier this year, the company announced another application for the VeriChip inserts.
Mexico's top federal prosecutors and investigators began receiving chip implants in their arms last November in order to get access to restricted areas inside the attorney general's headquarters, said Antonio Aceves, general director of Solusat, the company that distributes the microchips in Mexico. Attorney General Rafael Macedo de la Concha and 160 of his employees were implanted at a cost to taxpayers of $150 for each chip.
