In fairness, historically speaking most people who were barcoded weren't exactly doing it under their choice.

This is how I feel for the most part. As long as it can be encrypted I don't think I'd mind having one.

You have to be a little clearer for those who think Vietnam is ancient history. vi edit means the tattooing of Jews in WWII. The one 'Pro' I've seen mentioned so far is medical info. Well, they have these things called "med alert" bracelets.

Anyone stupid enough to have themselves implanted with as foolish a thing as a RFID tag deserves Big Brother (and, anyone else who cares to look) watching their every move.
