  • These people are talking nonsense about technology with only the shallowest understanding of it. Implantable RFID tags use regular microelectronics, not "nanotechnology" by any reasonable definition of the term. And any scheme of using RFID for tracking individual's movements would require reading sensors placed every three feet in the public space, plus a network connecting each sensor and aggregating the data. It is unlikely that any society would ever be insane enought to waste the funds.

  • Why not do this over again but this time leave Dad out of it. Just talk about tracking humans this is what its all about.
