Scott Silverman, Chairman of the Board of VeriChip Corporation, has proposed implanting the company's RFID tracking tags in immigrant and guest workers. He made the statement on national television earlier this week.
Silverman was being interviewed on "Fox & Friends." Responding to the Bush administration's call to know "who is in our country and why they are here," he proposed using VeriChip RFID implants to register workers at the border, and then verify their identities in the workplace. He added, "We have talked to many people in Washington about using it...."

Anybody familiar with the boiling Frog Theory? You put a frog in water. If the water is boiling immediately he'll jump out, but if you just gradually increase the tempature you got the dirty mugger.

Mechang, you're in Wisconsin? Didn't they juat pass a microchip ban? I'm not getting chipped either. Now what happens when incentives to get chipped are offered? Instead of NATO soldiers enforcing mandatory chipping, they'll do it like the "club card" in the supermarkets. "Members" can buy 2 for $1 but for non members it's $5 each. Not chipped? Go through an extra hour of security at the airport. Oh, you don't have a chip? That'll be a $15 manual procesing fee for that paperwork/credit check.
Just like the cellphone and the credit card, they will slowly make life more inconvenient unless you're chipped, and we all know for lots of americans it's "give me covenience or give me death" so getting a chip so you can buy canned spinach for half price and save time at checkpoints. The "i don't have anything to hide" crowd will be first in line to let the beast stamp 'em, and there's a lot of 'em out there and they'll be lining up around the block.
This is the "trial run" for the infrastructure, chip a few million people, get the scanners in place, andf work out the kinks of real world operations. Once the system is tuned and tested, the convenience factor will be played. Will they replace the "food stamp" card with a chip? We'll probably find out in the not too distant future.
