Post Injectable chip opens door to 'human bar code'

<a href="http://eetimes.com/story/OEG20020104S0044" target="_blank">web page</a>

Excerpt:

Inspired by Sept. 11


In September, Applied Digital Solutions implanted its first human chip when a New Jersey surgeon,
Exerpt from news story:
Injectable chip opens door to 'human bar code'
Richard Seelig, injected two of the chips into himself. He placed one chip in his left forearm and the other near the artificial hip in his right leg.

"He was motivated after he saw firefighters at the World Trade Center in September writing their Social Security numbers on their forearms with Magic Markers," Bolton said. "He thought that there had to be a more sophisticated way of doing an identification."

Surely, the Fundies will love this one. 666 can now be a much longer number thanks to this "CHIP".
Looks like the Fundies have a new reason for God to have allowed 911, it was to fullfill prophesy. Well, as long as it was for a good reason...

666 Makes reference to the generic "man" and is not the mark of the beast which is the number of "a certain man." The word "certain" here makes 666 not equal to the number of a certain man.

The "human bar code" makes reference to the humanity of man while the 666 identifies "man" beneath his/her humanity. The human bar code is not the mark of the beast because only the revived final imposter makes reference to the beast that emereged from the earth in Rev.13:11-18. The "revived final imposter" (Mt.27:64) is reborn from carnal desire and therefore emerged from the earth in Rev. 13.

I wrote an essay on biometric implants in college. These things scare the shit out of me. The potential applications are absolutely insane:

-Identification

-Medical

-Military

-Law enforcement

-Workplace productivity monitoring

-Ecommerce

-Complete loss of privacy

ADS(ADSX) who's slogan used to be "technology that cares", is in danger of being delisted from the Nasdaq, but it is simply a matter of time before this technology is finally implemented. 'Knowledge is power' is a truism, and I don't think I trust the government with this knowledge or power. Once a position of power has been obtained, the position to abuse that power has also been obtained.
