Not considering all of the privacy issues, being chipped is the mark of the beast.

This has to be one of the most ridiculous questions I have seen on this website, and there are alot. That's like asking someone, "What's wrong with being raped?" or " What's wrong with being tortured?".
1. Chips can be hacked and users could put whatever they wanted on them.
2. Guaranteed the majority of the "ruling elite" sure as hell won't put a chip in themselves
3. Frequencies can be broadcasted through RFID chips to alter your behavior by affecting your brainwave patterns and your basic physiology opening the chances of more physical ailments to occur in a person.
4. I can keep going on what's wrong with it. By putting that chip in your body you are opening yourself up to be manipulated 1000000% on many levels. Not only are you openly broadcasting a radio signal from your body all the time, don't hesitate to think for a minute they don't already have the tech to manipulate these radio frequencies.

It's easy enough to steal somebody's identity as is, but what about when everybody's chipped and all that info is in one place? And, forget about the chips themselves, what about all the databases that are going to be running off that information and probably storing it? I have very serious concerns about privacy and identity theft.
I'm concerned about safety. I've read reports about cell phones being a cancer risk. How much more of a risk are these chips going to present when they're in my body and can't be turned off?
-What happens if I go through a powerful EMF field? The chip is going to be made of metal. Will this thing burst into flames, explode, etc?
-Have they been tested long term to insure that they don't break from wear and tear and leak hazardous things or parts?
-Have they been tested to make sure they won't break from blunt force and leak hazardous chemicals or parts?
-What if I'm allergic to one of the metals they use?

I do agree with those that say hard criminals should be required to wear a chip at all times. To be used as a tracking device -

What happens when you put a micro chip in a computer and turn on the power? The chip runs the computer.
Since no one knows how advanced the technology in the people chip might be, after they get so many people to have one they could flip a switch or send a signal down from a satellite and take you over. Kind of far fetched, but who knows?
Machine readable Documents
4. Biometric identification
4.1 “Biometric identification” is a generic term used to describe automated means of recognizing a living
person through the measurement of distinguishing physiological or behavioural traits.
4.2 A “biometric template” is a machine-encoded representation of the trait created by a computer
software algorithm and enables comparisons (matches) to be performed to score the degree of confidence that
separately recorded traits identify (or do not identify) the same person. Typically, a biometric template is of
relatively small data size; however, each manufacturer of a biometric system uses a unique template format,
and templates are not interchangeable between systems.
4.3 Doc 9303 considers only three types of biometric identification systems. These are the physiological
ones of:
• facial recognition (mandatory)
• fingerprint (optional)
• iris recognition (optional)
An international standard, ISO/IEC 19794 composed of several parts, provides specifications for these types
of biometric identification. Issuing States shall conform to these specifications.
REAL ID- MORE Than Just Drivers License Control and Expanding Rapidly
The goal of our government and the government of other countries is total worldwide biometric enrollment. On page 68 of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for the Real ID Act 2005 released in March, 2007, by the Department of Homeland Security appears a footnote that reads as follows:
“17 The relevant ICAO standard is ICAO 9303 Part 1 Vol 2, specifically ISO/IEC 19794-5 – Information technology – Biometric data interchange
formats – Part 5: Face image data, which is incorporated into ICAO 9303”.
The ICAO is the International Civil Aviation Organization, an agency of the United Nations.
There is only one reason for international standards and the reliance of international organizations to implement U.S. law and that is to facilitate global information sharing.

So if you don't understand what this means, simply put, they will never need to 'Mark” you with a chip, they can use your facial recognition photo to track you anytime you pass a camera. An implanted RFID chip is only readable over a short distance, say 10 feet max, where Facial Recognition is usable from hundreds of feet, in crowds, and even in moving cars.
BTW..
For those who are religious, the Real ID, or “Gold Star” Compliant Drivers License already fits ALL the criteria of being the 'Mark of the Beast'. The quote in the Bible that mentions the 'Mark' being 'IN' the 'Hand or Forehead' does not necessarily literally mean “IN”. The word used for “IN” has something along the lines of 28 possible translations, including the fact that it might mean that you're biometric hand/forehead is IN the mark (database) itself.

What's the downside to having a personally implanted RFID chip?
It seems to me there would be much benefit.
No need to carry ID
No need to know your medical history or provide the history every time you are sick
An implanted device could hold all your banking needs...no need to carry much cash.
If a person went missing and the device was equipped with GPS they could be found quickly
School transcripts, college transcripts, work history....all of this could be stored making
the hiring process when looking for a job much easier.
Criminals could be tracked, fake alibis exposed, and criminals could even be placed
at the scene of a crime by the information stored on their chip...
So what's the downside?edit on 12-11-2012 by rival because: (no reason given)
