Do you REALLY think that a chip would be used to store your phone number and e-mail address?

It would need re-programming every time you moved or changed e-mail provider!

I just plain and simple don't want one inside me. I can't leave it at home and I can't lie if I want to. Having it put inside you takes away that choice however wrong that choice may be. I CHOOSE to go to work everyday. Do I have to? No.

What is freedom anyway.......to me it's having a choice, no matter how small that choice is and I'll fight, scream, kick, bite, etc... to keep it.

The physical security department here at work has access to the state license plate database and they check on those all the time.

The point I was making about the database is that there are what 125 million people in the USA?

I'm responsible for about 3TB of data, and that's small stuff. Aetna has 100TB, Lawrence Livermore National Labs has a 1200 CPU, 110TB storage cluster, StorageTek sells a 13 petabyte tape library.
