Indeed...and it is perfectly acceptable, I think, in being "chipped"...so long as we can simply put it down when we want to.
most of the concepts of chips are great...from a up to date medical records which could be life saving, to a ton of other applications that would be handy. If they made a card that runs only on your fingerprint for encryption, only the most paranoid of our society would refuse to get one...and end of the day, if you want privacy...simply leave it somewhere else.

I truly believe our government is intentionally allowing illegals into the US to create the argument for the card.
It is disgusting.
But the moment eloquence or the language of debate enters, true reasoning becomes impossible. For the purpose of the debater is not to find the truth but to win the argument, and to this end he will often stray as far as possible from the real issues"
"Eloquence and debate are designed, not to decide issues, but to sway people, for this reason they lean heavily on appeals to emotion and prejudice, and make use of neat, clever, and sometimes humorous turns of phrase rather than profound analysis of ideas"

There is a better advantage to have it on a card, then inside of someone. The side-effects from the chip are nasty.
Those are just my thoughts though.

Bad news. Someone was pointing out the flaws of this type of system back in 2004. Here is some of their information on this subject 6 years ago.
"These two things are what give the card it's supposed power and are it's fatal flaws:
1. If the card and it's contact with the central database is required for day-to-day activities then the creators of this system will have created a single point failure system for the entire country. That database, it's power supply, it's communication lines, it's software, everything about it will be a means to bring this country to a halt. This database, by necessity, must have hundreds of thousands of entry points accepting millions of connections each day. The more access points the more vulnerable the system is to attacks. Any building that requires the card for access, any business that requires the card for transactions will be vulnerable to having it's communication channel severed. A UBID as envisioned by it's proponents will have created a huge vulnerability to our society that cannot be allowed to exist.
2. Any central database that has the ability to track every move, every transaction of a person will be a tool of tremendous potential for abuse. It will dramatically fail my Jews in the attic test. No rules, regulations or laws can prevent abuse by those people that enforce the laws. This has been repeatedly proven not only in the classic cases of Nazi Germany and the USSR, but in our own country with such examples as the illegal access of census records to find and detain American citizens of Japanese descent during WWII."
