VeriChip Wants To Test Human Implantable RFID On [US] Military. This information week article indicates that at least one company thinks we should treat military members like pets. I think this is a double plus ungood. What think you?

Thanks to lina.d for pointing this article out to me.

If it was to be used in the way it is supposed to be used, I don't see an issue. Having access to medical records in emergencies, access for only medical professionals who are of good moral standing, a government that wouldn't abuse it's uses nor it's people...

You see where I'm going. Do I trust these organizations to do the right thing and not try and screw anyone and everyone in their way? Not for a sec. But does that make the technology bad? I don't know. Being able to know in an instant if you have diabetes or allergies or what the meds you are on would be a life saver. But the potential for abuse is enormous.

I think you'll find my thread with dr_tectonic, above, of interest.
