Japanese Schoolchildren to be Tagged with RFID
oostevo writes "CNET has reported that Japanese schoolchildren in the city of Osaka will be tagged with RFID tags. Apparently this is in addition to the trial program in Tabe that The Register reported earlier, where parents can track their children on their way to school."
Hmm, that is interesting. I wouldn't be opposed to a chip on a tooth, or a bracelet that required a key (or code) only the school and parents had. THings can be made amazingly small, so it wouldn't be block and intrusive. But having a wife who is not all that hot on the whole idea or putting anything "in" one of our boys,, a dermal implant (like those on pets) would prolly be out of the question.

Let the Japanese, and the Chinese, and the Russians, and the French, and the Saudi Arabians tag themselves. Easier for us to track them. Just don't try that crap in America. Live free or die.
You really shouldn't try to prop up an incredibly weak point with AC postings.
As an aside, I really don't think you need to worry as much about this - 15 year olds like yourself aren't the target of it.
so, you're saying that kids of Iran, Iraq (two years ago), Afghanistan (3 years ago) Syria, and the like all have a right to privacy? What color is the sky on your planet earth?
I'm thinking that a lot of those girls would put a right to their genitals way up on their give a shit list over a right to privacy.
Unicef, UN, and Amnisty International can all bite me with their anti-American spew...
Where's the UN on the Sudan? Rwanda?
Where's AI on the mass graves of Iraq and the torture of olympic athletes of Iraq?
Where's Unicef on female genital mutilation?
yeah... their still counting their money in the Food for Oil^h^h^h Palaces(tm) program they had with Saddam to be bothered with problems of the world.
Blame the US for everything and save yourself the trouble of working hard.
guns kill people like spoons make Rosie O'Donnell fat.
