I was curious as to whether any of you had heard of this, and what everyones thoughts were.
RFID is a technology in which small microchips with transmitters are placed on just about any object not containing a large amount of liquid. The chips contain a completely unique tracking number, which are tracked when detected by an RFID network. As a former wal-mart wage slave, I was pretty freaked out when they rolled out their RFID system. Basically every single item that comes into the store is kept in a database and can be tracked. Including some shoes and clothes. Recently I've heard that these chips are being put into passports, and if the feds get their way into every i.d. Basically the only thing preventing this is a few states suing.
I've always read books about the future where neighborhoods and cities are divided from others by gates that won't open without the proper i.d. and laughed. But, it seems like it's starting to become a pretty serious possibility. The idea that people are even selling clothes that can be tracked is goddamn scary.
It's hard enough live off the grid today, even if you don't carry an i.d. you're still fucked with by cops, and who's to say that if you refuse to carry those bugged i.d.s or wear the clothes and get picked up that they won't eventually start bugging our fucking bodies?
Anyways, I'm curious about what you guys think.
