Message:: [QUOTE="desertgem, post: 917081, member: 15199"]There are always people who fear things they think they have no control over, so I can understand why there would be distrust. My grandmother ( long deceased) once told me that when counties started requiring birth certificates, rather than letting the family just write the information in their Bible, the people started predicting it was the mark of Satan and the end of time.  RFID chips can have their uses, and of course possible misuses. If you understand their limitations, they should induce no fear. There are plenty of things that are more worrisome to me.  How do we know that the government hasn't forced Intel and AMD to design "Carnivore" or Narusinsight type of software into your processor that can monitor your computer and report to the "Conspiring Government" or upon signal can kill your computer and all internet activity?  New all electronic phones can be "opened" from another phone so everything within sensitivity of the phone microphone can be heard.  2600 Magazine had a recent article how you can "catch" unused (at the time) bluetooth attachments( headsets) and open them to listen to the wearer's  conversations through it. Now the Intel/AMD is just for fun, but the latter 2 are occurring today without people knowing.[/QUOTE]
