  You think so? I don’t know. I imagine a future where every child that is lost, or abducted is found within minutes due to tracking devices, like lo-jack for cars. I think it would be great. I know there are risks, but imagine a world that is safer for children.

    If i had a dime for every time someone told me to think of the children. This has more potential to harm children than make them safer imo.

    I just think it's a very idealistic and unrealistic view of the likely outcomes. To use an extreme example: imagine applying the situation to a North Korea or Russia. Or the U.S., certainly. My point is that it would be the ultimate tool for stifling opposition and consolidating power, among many other things.

      True. I fear other countries chipping all of us, in our sleep one day: Citizens, politicians, military personnel, and whatnot. They could have a realtime map that charts everyone’s locations. That would be awful in the event of a war. 😟

    I wish the chips in pets worked like lo-jacks. You have to use a bulky collar tag if you want to track their whereabouts.
