Thanks, and yeah I think anyone in the right mind would find the idea of be 'branded' in any way scary.
As for what the bible has to say about the mark of the beast etc. no offense to anyone who believes in the bible, but I believe it's filled with fairy tails. The only thing that is remotely correct that is contained within the bible is the way to treat others and how to live a good life. The teachings of those named in the bible including Jesus are good and I don't deny that, but their 'powers' have been embellished quite a bit, as have the stories. I'm sorry but I just cannot believe there is a hell where your soul goes for eternity for sins you created as a human being - we are human we make mistakes, who is to say we can't have another chance to prove our humanity?

gotta ask... is this tattoo going to be in the shape of 3 sixs by any chance?
Actually I got some info saying it may be the mark of the beast... www.mobresistance.org...
Check out the update in the OP though as well. Not good news... not good news at all.

This is seriously bad stuff. I also find it interesting that the name of the company is SOMARK.

I don't really see anything worth worrying about with this. They developed the technology... and? Tattoo's have been around for ages and the Nazi's used them. When I was in middle school, my English teacher brought in a Holocaust survivor and he showed us his tattoo. Does that mean we should burn down all tattoo parlors? They're talking about the technology and possible applications, not about forcing them on people. Using them in battlefields to identify friendlies? Sounds fine to me, as long as they can be removed sometime afterwords. RFID tags exist and are being used for different purposes. Have you been kidnapped and had one forced under your skin yet? It's good to keep an eye out for potentially negative technologies... but obsessing over the potential for harm and ignoring the potential for good is just as ridiculous as obsessing over the potential good and ignoring the potential for harm.
Of course, if this invisible RFID ink works so
well on soldiers, why stop there? Why not tag young children
in case they become lost? Why not tattoo senior citizens who
may suffer from Alzheimer's Disease? In fact, why don't we
just go the whole nine yards and tag the whole world? Doesn't
that sound just lovely

There is no such thing as a fair fight in war, the ones with the better technology will always win, even if out numbered.
