And what stops the enemy from hacking the system and locating those lost soldiers?
n yet another example of what was once called a conspiracy theory, but is now accepted as mainstream science, “edible microchips” are being officially rolled out for consumption by the general public. Interestingly enough, it was only a few short years ago that anyone who mentioned a microchipped population via implantable, or ingestible microchips was derided as paranoid and delusional. Now that the technology has been introduced, however, these individuals are no longer so easy to dismiss.
Hitachi Develops a New RFID with Embedded Antenna µ-Chip --Makes Possible Wireless Links that Work Using Nothing More Than a 0.4mm X 0.4mm Chip, One of the World's Smallest ICs-- Tokyo, September 2, 2003-Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501) today announced that it has developed a new version of its RFID µ-Chip embedding an antenna. When using Hitachi's original µ-Chip, one of the world's smallest RFID ICs measuring only 0.4mm X 0.4mm, an external antenna must be attached to the chip to allow external devices to read the 128-bit ID number stored in its ROM (Read-Only-Memory).

But are they nano to hide the chip from captors, or are they nano so they become impossible to remove after retirement for example by a 'civilian' doctor. Perhaps once installed the contract might state its in indefinitely.

Because it's damn tough to measure things like blood sugar, temp, pH, or potassium level from a dog tag.
You have to be invasive to measure the things you want to find out. It's why doctors take blood samples to do labs instead of waving a wand over you.

The "mark of the beast" isn't this. The phrasing of the bible passages mentioning it are pretty obviously describing something like a tefillin. More, the term "charagma" which is translated as mark, isn't necessarily a 'mark'. It can also be a vow, an oath, a contract or a wholehearted acceptance of something. When you combine that with the thing being described like a tefillin which is "the word of God in your forehead and your hand", meaning an acceptance of, or vow to God in your thoughts and deeds rather than some magic object, it seems pretty clear that the "mark of the beast" isn't a chip or tattoo or Social Security number, but a pledge, vow or contract to 'the beast' in your thoughts and the works of your hands.

I used that term for effect, because I see these things as evil and invasive, no one should be forced to be chipped if they don't want it...period....

The point is, why do you have to put them inside you instead of hanging them around your neck is, you can't do it that way.
Might they help, I could certainly see them as being useful in a combat situation. If you are wounded, infected, poisoned, or just sick, it would help to know what was going wrong in seconds so you could start treatment there on the spot rather than ship you back at some point to a med unit, draw blood, run a test panel, and take a couple of hours to get some of them back.

What do you think of blood tests the doctor does? Are they evil and invasive?
Originally posted by MountainLaurel
I don't know, perhaps if they are completely voluntary a soldier may opt to have one for those reasons....but should not be forced to have one.

What part of it specifically bothers you, and why? Considering it's basically a SMAC-24 chemlab with battlefield-relevant additions they're talking about. I'm not seeing the evil here.

If they move through the bloodstream, which i doubt due to obvious reasons, you can always allow someone to hit you with a stungun. The higher the volts the better....sure you'll be incapacitated for a brief time, but the chip will likely have the crap fried out of it.
That or find a way to microwave yerself.....i suppose there is always the car battery trick. Not sure how yall feel about jumper cables.
BTW these things work on very very low voltage if any, all they really are is antenna receivers that hold info which then becomes activated under a certain frequency and transmits its info. Wouldn't be hard to fry, yet i think maybe they have already thought of that.
