Using RFID Tags to Make Teeth
Roland Piquepaille writes "If you live in France, and soon elsewhere in Europe and in the U.S., and if you need a dental prosthesis, chances are good that RFID tags are involved in the manufacturing process, according to this article from the RFID Journal. The tag is embedded by the dental lab in the cast which will be used to make the prosthesis. Then it is used to record the whole history of the crown, a process requested by a European sanitary regulation. Before delivering the bridge to your dentist, all the data is copied to a smart card that will be given to you. The company is also studying the idea to put directly the tag inside the prosthesis. Maybe one day, when your dentist installs your new bridge, you'll also be the owner of a deactivated RFID tag inside it. This summary contains more details and a picture of the RFID tag used to record the life of your next crown."
They really are trying to get inside our teeth!
:O
How long will my fillings tingle after I pull my head out of the microwave?
i was attacked by a coked up whore and a fscking crazy dentist!
.. but there's NO way I'm letting my dentist near my routers!
With great numbers come great responsibility!
The Aliens have been implanting tiny tracking devices in teeth for years. These so called "RFID" tags are just humans using Alien(tm) technology.

If you've seen the movie, then you know this is a bad idea.

rediculous.
you'll also be the owner of an activated RFID tag in your skull.
You'll need a tinfoil jawplate now to go with that helmet.

I think my teeth have the right to surf the internet...I demand that the dentists adopt Wi-Fi instead of RFID.
Two freaks, no foes. It takes absolutely nothing to make some people angry.
...with all the teeth in Europe that need replacing.
I sure hope they include data like:
... NO THANKS!
- my toothpaste preference
- whether or not I brush 'correctly'
- the tardiness of my payments to the dentist
This is like a dream come true - having data imbedded into my FUCKING HEAD which drones can access at their will
You can't expect to wield supreme executive power, just because some watery tart threw a sword at you
Well, Mr Smith, it appears that your incisors spent rather a lot of time somewhere in the vicinity of my daughter's IUD RFID tag. Would you like to explain this to me or would you rather choose a window?
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Although, at least I'll have an excuse for being late to work.
What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
Gah! Next thing you know Bruce Willis is going to show up claming that he's from the future and and evil group called the Army of the 12 Monkeys led by Brad Pitt is going to destroy all of humanity. Wait, maybe he's right. Quick! Everyone knock your teeth out! That's where the tracking devices them future peoples use to find you!
Actually, this is RFUD, which reaches more people than ordinary FUD ever could.
I would if I will throw off inventory at Wal-Mart?
These RFID tags are to help continue the tradition of identifying incomplete/decomposed bodies from dental records. They coincide with the new government issue head seeking bullets.
but once they start making fake teeth that can run Linux, you're all going to fight for the right to dream about having them in your mouth.
^_^
Now they really will start broadcasting radio signals on my fillings! AHHH!!!!
The book you are thinking of is the Bible. Mark of the beast and all that stuff.
