Do you think this Radio Frequency Identification technology is a good thing to use on people, or is it just another Big Brother tactic to keep an eye on citizens? RFID chips are small tags that can electronically send reports about whatever it is monitoring. Stores use them to monitor inventory, and some restaurants use them to keep track of food expiration dates. But now schools in Japan are using them to keep track of where children are all the time, and in America some states are looking into imbedding these in driver`s licenses, which would allow the government to keeps tabs on people`s locations. Should they have just stuck with using the technology on non-living things? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004...

If you believe the Holy Bible, it could be viewed as being one step closer to being tagged with the sign of "The Beast".
