Mexican Attorney General Gets Microchip in Arm

Posted by timothy on from the but-anything's-removable dept.

novakreo writes "Rafael Macedo de la Concha, Mexico's Attorney-General, now has a non-removable microchip in his arm, to track his movements and to give him access to a new crime database, according to Bloomberg. The article says that eventually around 160 Mexican officials will have a chip implanted." (Wired and CNN are both running the very similar Reuters report, too.)

    You are aware that Bush has actually bothered to learn Spanish. Do you think he did so to speak to the Prime Minister of Spain? Also his sister-in-law is of Mexican descent. And he supports NAFTA, which most people would agree benefits Mexico at least slightly more than the U.S.

    Most presidents pay lip-service to Mexico, while it would appear to me that Bush has actually tried to build a relationship with Mexico.

    If one was to hate Mexicans, I would think there were better candidates to support than Bush.

    So let me guess that you are a frightened panty-waist whose heritage comes from a country that can't defend itself, and a Communist Party supporter.

    There's no disputing that RFID tags (at the very least - MIGHT!) represent the Mark of the Beast from the Book of Revelations. If so, the payoff for your faithfulness will be far greater than the immediate gains you make in this life, and they will last longer.

    Stow the Xian Fundie crap. It doesn't work here. The fear of having a chip implanted is plenty for people to not do it. There are many benefits "in this life" for not having a chip implanted than to offer people another life that may or may not exist.

  3. holy frijoles! solution to what? by cabazorro · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Let's get this straight:
    Mexico it's suffering the highest crimes rates
    ever.
    Assaults and kidnaps galore in Mexico City.
    Solution?
    Insert some chips to law enforcement!!!???
    I think this guys are more afraid of the Mafia in
    Mexico and that's why they want to be tracked.
    They are afraid of every "citizen" out there coming after them.. to get even(ajustar cuentas).

    But like the Molotov song goes:
    Si le das mas poder al poder...mas duro
    te van a venir a joder!
