Thread: And it Begins: RFIDs

They can track you by putting a camera in the door of any building. Face recognition is good enough to pick anyone out of a group. They already use it in England and have been for 10 years. Those cameras can see you from hundreds of feet away. Interpolate the recognitions and they have your path.

30 feet is not the implantable chips, those are much more powerful transmitters with the most sensitive receivers. Personal chips I believe have 128 bit encryption. Think you can crack that? I'll see you in a thousand years. They can't even break the iTunes encryption and there are far more people working on that.

I think I remember they did a debate on TV of this. One of the issues and stories were like this:

Say, Melissa (made up name) walks down the street one day. Its a quiet day, not so many people out that day. She just came back from renting her favorite movie. She suddenly hears a scream. Its a murder in progess just around the corner. The moment she turns to see, she sees a man on the floor and another man running away. She feels scared herself so she flees in distress and calls for help.

Hours later, her house door is busted down and she is arrested for suspicion of murder.

What happened here??? The only things the police had to go with were that her RFID and the victims RFID and had the same GPS location the murder occured. (The killer didn't have his with him at the time). Also because Melissa fled the scene, she is viewed as a major person of interest. With no other clues to go on and only the fact that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but this time with actual tracking records. She is doomed to her unwanted fate.



Thats really all the details I can remember of that debate and I may have left a lot of important facts out. There were plenty more interesting stories brought up on the subject of RFIDs. Just wish I could remember

If that were true it would be a cause for concern, but such technology does not currently exist the way you're describing it.

The size of the chip really doesn't matter much because it's a tranceiver, not a transmitter. Anyway, a chip in a driver's license is just as good because people carry those everywhere.

The government has the passwords.

Logan Airport, T.F. Green, San Francisco International Airport, and Fresno Airport already use it and have been for several years.

Parts of Tampa are outfitted with cameras and have been for years.

London was the first city to make use of the cameras, they installed then in 1998.

The software to do it is actually fairly simple from a technical standpoint. I've love to discuss that in the tech forum.

Come again? Not true, a company has the right to hold that kind of information. Most of these companies are international anyway and can tell the US government to go to hell. It would be illegal for the government to acquire those kinds of passwords for medical records. Medical records are confidential, even to the government.

guerilla, if you want to live in an anarchical society, go to Antarctica. Governments need to be in place to keep society running. The law clearly states that the government may not tap your phone or internet connection or credit card statements without a permit (taken away by PATRIOT of course, but as soon as it gets to the supreme court it will be shot down assuming it doesn't expire first.) That liberty will be extended to RFIDs.

I'm going to give you the same argument I give when taking about gay marriage: ahem. If you don't want one then don't get one and shut the fuck up.

You put way too much trust in your government.

Why does everyone always say anarchy when someone displays ANY disatisfaction with government, I swear to god im gonna rip my hair out.


All I was freakin saying is that the two party system is a dictatorship in disguise, they control everything and they lie to us daily and people like you ninja gobble it down like a big mac.


Honestly ninja, if you believe the patriot act will be repealed, you are INSANE, it will never be repealed under the two party system, it will only be expanded, taking away our rights....but don't use logic, just keep spewing comments about how I should goto antarctica which make no sense to the arguement at hand.

Oh lord, good thing I moved. Just a matter of time though, I daresay. ;-;

You guys, like guerilla, continually treat 'the government' like a seperate entitiy. It isn't. It is the whole country.

This is why we need to switch to some kind of Decentralized government... An isocracy of sorts.

Then people REALLY ARE the government...

But yea. Government = Group of people. Not some dictator handing out orders...
