Jews during World War II were rounded up and the rest is known what happened. Christians will be rounded up as anti - americans who are keeping security from coming to this country by refusal to take the chip. If Hitler could lead a nation against the jews then the anti-christ will have little trouble. The outcome will be we all will lose on something that if done right could help prevent children from being kidnapped and molested. But this is only if those watching can be trusted.

why would you think it's an Intel chip?
Once the design and patents are out, any one could make a chip under licence. Its the only way that it could be made in mass numbers.
Other companies to watch are sat nav, GPRS companies having tie ups with nano tech companies to make always on tracking devices, that will link with a central database.
Chip design is where the standards are set. Making the chip is the easy bit.

I would certenly kick up a fuss having an ID card with retinal scans and finger prints. If I lost my card I would have lost a unique id to me. Who can possibly underight the loss of my identity. Lose a credit card and you get a new one, with a new number. The old card can be stopped.
Lose a card with your finger print or retinal scan, you might as well cut your finger off or poke your eye out. A card with these details can be used by villan tomorrow or 40-50 years later. The only way you could prove it's not you, is to have the finger or eye removed!!
The worst thing I can think of by creating this argument against id cards with finger prints and retinal scans, is that it strengthens the call for an implant, as this can't be stolen.
If you agree to that you have lost all freedom.
