[QUOTE="HuntTech, post: 10978, member: 147"] [b]JT's non lethal weopon...[/b] Yes, I would think that's the unbelievable point. There's always been this push-pull between law enforcement and the courts (which are supposedly protecting our civil liberties). Law enforcement pushes for more and more 'rights' to do things to better be able to do their job and the courts pull back and slap down on what they want in order to protect us from being trampled. We can all formulate arguments pro or con for implanting markers in a person... but I think it comes down to one thing: How would I feel being forced to implant a sub-dermal tracking device? No freakin' way... I would rather hack off my arm once it is in place. (OK... OK... I'd be more likely to attempt a cleaner removal, but you get the point!) Look for a media push talking about the pros of such a device. I can see it now... 'It's like a SpeedPass for your person!' - 'You'll no longer have to fumble with your credit cards or real money!' - 'Stores will automatically recognize your buying patterns and your tastes!' - 'Just pick up what you want and walk out! The RFID tags on the merchandise will work in concert with your implant and ring you up!' Look for a sugar-coated view of such a device... almost making the American consumer [b][i]want[/i][/b] such a thing! You might be surprised at how many people would sign up! Then, the dark side *must* nag at you. Heck, we'll be seasoned to the idea because of the great things that are being done in the fight against crime with the things.
