FULL STORY


As a step in the right direction, North Dakota decides to ban forced RFID chipping. Finally, with a little bit of guts, we are able to take a step in the right direction in protecting personal freedoms and liberties. - Leonid Shalimov

April 12, 2007 (Computerworld) — As expected, North Dakota has become the second state in the U.S. to ban the forced implanting of radio frequency identification (RFID) chips in people.

The two-sentence bill, passed by the state legislature, was signed into law by Gov. John Hoeven last Wednesday. Essentially, it forbids anyone from compelling someone else to have an RFID chip injected into their skin. The state follows in the steps of Wisconsin, which passed similar legislation last year.

Same kind of mentality as people who wouldn't let electricity into their homes a century ago.

RFID is a great benefit to people but they are too ignorant and short-sighted to see it.

I am all for not having mandatory shots for school kids.  That just means the stupids will die out.

At some point you will need RFID to function in modern society.
Breaking it will make as much sense as throwing your money, keys, licenses, passports, and identity away.  
Your chip will be all these things.

Yea, and your chip can also be read by anyone with the correct device, if you are within a certain distance from them. It's not completely secure.

You want to publicize your Social Security # to everyone?

George Orwell may have been right all along. And "Minority Report" may turn out not to have been science fiction after all.

You wont be giving your SS# to anyone.
Your ping will be no more personal than your name- which you give people all the time.

However the chip is carried, it must match with your physical data (photo, fingerprints, etc) in the database.
A fraudulent chip will not do that.

Or "Minority Report" or read "1984."
