Officials secretly RFID'd at Internet Summit

ewoudenberg writes "A Washington Times article reports that researchers managed to gain entrance to the Internet and technology conference in Switzerland last week only to discover that the summit's badges contained undisclosed RFID chips. The badges were handed out to more than 50 prime ministers, presidents and other high-level officials from 174 countries, including the United States."

Your idea is so dumb. There is this little thing called National Security.

Location matters not.

This would help get an elected official assassinated, perhaps their family and or children hurt.

Hasn't anyone noticed that the Washington Times was founded by Rev. Sun Myung Moon? I can't imagine anyone taking this publication seriously.

Its debatable if he even lied, and even if he did lie, its not necessarily purgery. He said he "did not have sexual relations" with Monica.

sexual relations==euphamism for intercourse
oral sex!=intercourse

Bullshit. I've got a Webster's Dictionary sitting in front of me that was published before the Clinton administration.

sexual relations, 1. sexual intercourse; coitus. 2. any sexual activity between individuals. [1945-50]

You can't tell me that oral sex does not fall into number 2 there. Hence the word "sex" in the phrase.

So, at least in that statement, he wasn't lying. Splitting hairs yes, lying no.

Yes, he was, per my point above.

But even if he did lie under oath, its not purgery if its not relevant. As his getting a BJ from Monica didn't have anything to do with the supposed harrasment against Paula Jones, it wasn't relevant.

Go watch a a few trials sometime. It was absolutely relevent. It establishes a pattern of behavior where a powerful person is requesting (and sometimes getting) sexual favors from someone who is a lot less powerful.

We just had a case locally where a cop was getting BJs in return for not issuing tickets. (Again, power over powerless). Turns out there were over a dozen different women before one finally turned him in. I see very little difference between that and what Clinton was doing. It is not ethical to solicit sexual anything from someone in that relative position from you. Period.

How many women did Clinton really take advantage of using his positions as Governor and then President?
