There's already RFID being implemented in credit/debit cards, passports, and drivers licenses.

Could be a move to push RFID more and more.

edit for spelling

Also, to get a drivers license now, you must have your fingerprint taken, thanks to the REAL ID Act which passed (in 2005 I believe), in addition to proving an address showing where you live. This is why DL's must be mailed now - before you could have it printed immediately. The REAL ID Act was passed at a time during the fear talks about immigrants taking over our country. Consequently, this Act passed with support from both Republicans & Democrats.

I just recently moved to a different state and had to get a new drivers license, but I wasn't fingerprinted. And they gave it to me a few minutes after they took my picture. I'm not sure if the standards are the same for every state. But for all I know there is a chip inside of it, and quite possibly in any credit cards I have as well.

Same here but I've actually moved to two different states in the last year (AZ and MI)

Good to know - I guess Colorado is more tyrannical.

Oh, is this an Americans-only sub? Last time I checked, my government didn't ask for fingerprints when I received my license. Move to a different country if there are so many problems with America.

yea because it's that easy to pick up and move to a different country.

Surely it is easier than always coming up with new ways to stay ahead of your government?

Great! It sounds like you live in one of those nations which eagerly accepts American ex-pats! Mind telling me what country that is?

Canada.

Oh, NORAD Annex North? Well that is so hilarious I don't know where to start. I could start with pointing out that emigrating to Canada from the U.S. accomplishes nothing for the person who actually needs to emigrate. Canada justice authorities fully cooperate with the U.S., just ask Marc Emery -- a very nice guy that I once bought seeds from before he was imprisoned here in the U.S.

Aside from this obvious flaw in your suggestion, it is my understanding that a person cannot simply immigrate to Canada from the United States. At the very least, a person must have a Bachelor's degree to do so, or own a Canadian business. Is that mistaken?

Canada??? Might as well emigrate to Israel by that measure.

On second thought, we have our fair share of nut jobs already. You can stay in America. Thanks pal.

The nut job here is the person who thinks Canada is going to protect the rights of American ex-pats, and that would be you, nut job. Canada doesn't even protect Canadian citizens from the U.S. authorities, obviously.

I think you're reading too much into everything. Take off your tinfoil hat and go outside. Now hush.

You hush, stupid fool. Take off your blinders and stop waving your Maple Leaf flag.

You know who U.S. D.H.S. calls on to assist in the U.S. when they aren't allowed to follow someone into a certain jurisdiction? Canadian Consular Security -- I have seen that with my own eyes.

You're a fool.

What's your insane rant have to do with anything? Hush.

This is very graceless way for you to handle the fact that your original comment was laughable.

What's laughable is how serious you're taking this.

It's interesting how critical you are of your own behavior in others.

What is insane about having access to a fact? You originally commented that people who dislike the U.S. situation should emigrate, because your country is as bad as the U.S. Then it turns out your country is Canada, and your original point is therefore deeply laughable. Finding freedom in Canada is the punch-line to a joke.

This makes no sense. My country is as bad as the US? You've just written that. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Again. Hush. You're making yourself out to be a conspiraTARD.

What makes no sense is suggesting a U.S. citizen emigrate to Canada for enhanced freedom of any sort. The Canadian authorities (e.g., RCMP) act as nothing but extensions of the United States, at even the stupidest request from U.S. authorities.

Again you tell me to "hush" as if you are a parent type. In reality, please go back to playing with your choo-choo-train and teddy bear.

You've made yourself out to be a sheepie, just like the many U.S. citizens who think highly of the U.S. government.

Hush.

You lose the credibility you think you have when you say things like sheeple. Oh, and imitation? That's just hilarious.

Hush.

I guess votes on your comments will be the judge of who has lost credibility and who hasn't.

I'm not sorry if it hurts your feeling when I ape your childish behavior. That was my intention.

Now, hush.

Nah, you don't know how vote fuzzing works, bro. I am sure it's just the government shills wanting to downvote what I say, right?

It's so cute how you have resorted to copying me. Now hush, the adults need you to be quiet. :)

What's amusing is that you want people to think you are an adult.

As for vote fuzzing, I do know how that works, and I can't help but notice you are at over -10 on some of these comments.

But anyway, please hush.

Aww, you think that the number you see is accurate? How cute. It's showing you that cause you're trying to downvote all my comments. Keep trying, little buddy.

Maybe one day, you'll get above 300 karma. Maybeeee ;)

Now hush. Shouldn't you be prepping your bunker for doomsday?

And to prove how predictable you are - you'll respond to me, cause you want to have the last word; and you'll include the word hush because you are sooooo angry that I told you to be quiet, that you feel you must get back at me by saying something I already said. How cute, and how predictable. Hehe.

You keep trying, short guy.

It was incredibly easy to manipulate you!

It was incredibly weird to interact with a Canadian who calls citizens of the United States "American" and is such a dipshit. I don't think you are really a Canadian, for multiple reasons.

Bahahaha

You even sound like a sheep.

Aw how cute. You got so mad that I called you out on your picture, that you had to follow me to other discussions!! Adorable!

If you had said "Germany", "Spain", or "France" I would not be laughing at you so hard. But no: "Canada."

I'm not one to run away from every problem. I do hold your general philosophy though, but this one instance isn't enough to make me move - I see enough potential to get liberty-minded people on top of this and get the tyrants out.

I am with you on that one.

do u have sources for the credit/debit card rfid chips?

Please, ask professor google he knows everything.

I have a Chase CC and it has the contact-less RFID chip. Also, Google Wallet is available on certain smart phones that allow you to pay by contacting your phone to the contact-less reader. It's the technology that is marketed as "Tap To Pay" etc. from companies such as MasterCard.

oooooh, ok, thanks for the info

Well said. I think they can't come with only one acceptable excuse to have everyone shipped. But combine it with - emergency medical record - medical history

Etc., and some people could even think about it.

You know what I never thought of this, but it is very possible.I was thinking this was their excuse for drones but it's not looking that way..THIS makes so much sense, let's see what happens next..

No. The American people are lazy and apathetic, but if they tried to do something that like, it would be like poking the slumbering beast. Who would be that stupid?

TLDR; Dorner exercise could be used as an excuse to implement RFID chipping to avoid civilian casualties, illegal searches and excessive use of drones.

Ok - so where is the talk? I only see it coming from you

Last week Dorner was drones and that's even more obviously stupid at this point

so where is the talk?

The title of the thread has two important words in it "My" and "Theory"

I only see it coming from you

Yup that's the point. He's just speculating.

Last week Dorner was drones and that's even more obviously stupid at this point

This contributes nothing. As it is your opinion. Quit trolling.

[deleted]

that's even more obviously stupid at this point

Thats not just "no"

Thats being a trolling asshole at that point, some people really thought this would have been a prime time to roll out drones, and you are insulting them

Thats not a "no", thats being a dick

Get fucked - if you aren't willing to discuss my point

Well that was nice, I disagree with you and you tell me to get fucked. You are a lovely young man

Thats being a trolling asshole at that point, some people really thought this would have been a prime time to roll out drones, and you are insulting them

No, being a dick is the response I get when I politely say no. Your posts are evidence of the lack of critical thought put into such theories.

Well that was nice, I disagree with you and you tell me to get fucked. You are a lovely young man

Are you illiterate? It has nothing to do with the fact that you disagree. It's that you aren't willing to discuss it. I wrote that. Did you not understand?

Highly unlikely..

Grasping. At. Straws.

At least he is using the sub appropriately. I find that refreshing.

On second thought, we have our fair share of nut jobs already. You can stay in America. Thanks pal.

Hush.
