Security under the skin
By Sean Coughlan
BBC News Online Magazine


A US company has been given the green light to implant microchips in humans. It's intended to provide medical information ... but will it turn into a surveillance system? ..............

This week, the United States Food and Drug Administration gave its approval for an implantable chip which can be used for medical purposes.

A microchip the size of a grain of rice can be inserted below the skin - and will carry an individual's medical records which can be read by a scanner.

The makers of the VeriChip say it will carry information that can save a patient's life during an emergency - such as details of medication, blood groups and allergies or if they have conditions such as diabetes.

1. Naturally, this will NOT be covered in Corporate TV Pravda
Wouldn't want the sheep to grasp that, like ALL Bushevik Imperial Organizations, FDA's mission is now to help misle, confuse and enslave Amerikan Imperial Subjects.

Perfectly consistent with the actions of a Totalitarian Nation like Amerika.

2. It was in the NY Times yesterday.
Just like science fiction.

3. Let me know when it is discussed on TV Pravda
The newspapers, as bad as they are, simply are not seen by enough people.

Even the Old Grey Media Whore herself.

Only TV is essential and seminal to Imperial Amerika perception of reality.

And TV has been taken over or bullied into line by Goebbels v2.0.
