Hmm, is not this mentioned in the bible?
The mark of the beast. Yeah, that bar code idea is not a new one. Wasn't there series with a genetically altered female type soldier? Think the series was called Dark Angle? Had bar codes tattooed on their necks? You get a bar code tattooed on ya at birth, better yet just RFID everybody. Sure everybody gets this RFID or you don't work. Nice now we have two groups of people, the haves (the people with RFID's) and the have not's (those that refuse to be "tagged" and the have not's, well because some politician chooses to vote for RFID'ing. Having permanent tattooing or RFID'ing isn't going to make it any safer. But wait there is more, see what is going to happen is, companies private companies are going to have access to this info that people will be carrying around with them, you will be not be able to do banking without or carry on any other type of commerce with out this information. Government made everybody have to have Social Security Identification to collect your retirement, but now IRS, School records, state records, credit history, everything else that is not Social Security is keyed into SSI. Really this is against the law to do this, but it is done anyway. How many people (at least here in Michigan) know that the first three numbers in their drivers license is based on what is called a sound dex record (people that are into genealogy know what I am talking about). Take for instance my last name is Bu_h the first three numbers are sound dexxed to 200-999-999-999. Now if you want to have an identifying ID use a drivers license number because it will not change that much. Just we do not need to have companies having access to personal info, look at what they have done with it now, private databases just give it away to criminals if the price is right. And the problem is these criminals are not even citizens of the good old US of A.
