Homeless to be Implanted with Subdermal RFID Tags
An anonymous reader writes "Politech has the scoop on the Bush administration's plans to forcibly implant RFID tags into homeless people in participating U.S. cities. Here's an excerpt from the UPI article: "The miniscule RFID tags are no larger than a matchstick and will be implanted subdermally, meaning under the skin. Data from RFID tracking stations mounted on telephone poles will be transmitted to police and
social service workers, who will use custom Windows NT software to track movements of the homeless in real time... A second phase of the project, scheduled to be completed in early 2005, will wirelessly transmit live information on the locations of homeless people to handheld computers running the Windows CE operating system.""
Does anyone have a mirror for dealsite.net, it seems to be slashdotted?
Lord, bless my users that they may stop being such fucking idiots!!
Sounds rather 'April Foolish' to me...
I wouldn't put it past him, though. He's not exactly above the draconian.
As much as I am fundamentally a conservative (note the small C), I really hope he doesn't get re-elected.
The only thing more terrifying than religious fundamentalists in the cockpit?
Religious fundamentalists in the White House.
Fire and Meat. Yummy.
religious fundamentalist in the White House?
Kerry in the White House. Clinton gets to be Secretary of State? Ooh, ah, I can't wait. What a bang up job he did last time.
Surely you must be kidding. If we can't ridicule the homeless, who have no access to lawyers, then who might I ask should we ridicule?
Everyone else except retards and psychos will sue the crap out of you.
There is nothing more terrifying than a religious fundamentalist in the White House. Do you even read what you write? Or are you some kind of fundie wacko yourself? If so, why are you wasting everyone's time posting to Slashdot, when you could be out Crusading your way into your eternal reward? Get it while it lasts.

>>"What if I pay cash and am unemployed?"
>Then you are tracked through unemployment.
Not if I don't sign up for unemployment. I don't qualify anyway as I quit my job and decided to take some time off.
Unemployment figures are a crock anyway since there are quite a few more people out of work than are registered at their local "Employment Development Office", well, that's what they call it in CA.
