U.S. school district to begin microchipping students

BIG BROTHER IS COMING!!!!!!...In all seriousness though what if like, a kid leaves their bag on the bus and suddenly theres a huge panic that the kids bag is there but the kid isn't.

It's fine that they want to know where their buses are, but tagging kids is just plain ridiculous. Tracking devices for children.......great, now their parents and school officials/teachers can be lazy without feeling guilty. Just point & click, there he/she is. Stupid. There's no need for this, and I wouldn't allow: no freakin way.

I don't know man, they're preparing our children for the New World Order. The FDA approved verichip, an implantable RFID chip for human use in 2005. RFID chips are in all new U.S. passports, and some people opt to have it implanted as their passport. Youtube it, they have plenty of videos from the mainstream media to Matrics, a company who is pioneering the RFID industry. Their self-proclaimed mission is to "CHIP THE WORLD." They chip products for retail corporations in the U.S. RFID chips are in your X-box 360 games, the white square sticker on the inside cover. Take it off and you'll pull out a tiny black chip which is attached to a square shape coil antenna. Procter and Gamble got together with MIT in 1999 and chipped Gillette razors and sold them to people. Customer Demographics my ass. The corporations are starting it, and pretty soon the government will be able to track us, hence the proposed Real ID Act(wikipedia). Do your research.

well the day the try to barcode us is the day i go underground resistance fighter...should only be a year or so

As of April 2, 2008, all 50 states have either applied for extensions of the original May 11, 2008 compliance deadline or received unsolicited extensions, meaning that the REAL ID Act will not become an issue at federal facilities and airports until December 31, 2009. So yeah about another year. Youtube earthships. I'd like to do a pod on that shit man.

You are going to see me repeating this over and over again. There are limits in life and this is one these "Do not cross limits." This technology would be good for the elderly, blind and people with disabilities as a tool, not as a passive instrument of control. Otherwise, It is coming and we will have to say, step back and respect what is left of my privacy. However, stores are already using it and many of you are carrying these devices home without knowing.

Get 'em while they're young.

This is disgusting.

Schoolbags are private property, kids carry them around everywhere....this is SPYING and intolerable.

I'd agree with "There’s absolutely no need to be tagging children," since you can get the same results with cell phones to be able to keep in touch with the children. They have GPS capabilities also.

Obviously the tagging backpacks, has another purpose most likely the 1st step in implanting the chips in the skin to track the children for different puposes than just buses.

This is scary to me. I believe it won't be long before the government and "big brother" will know where we are at all times. The new U.S. Passports with tracking chips seems to be the first step.

Check out youtube's "North American Union and V-Chip" as well as "The Amero".

This is absolutely disgusting, but I can't say I didn't see it coming. I can't help but think of East Germany when I hear this type of stuff. "Get 'em while they're young" is right and by the time these kids are in college the chips will be in their arms. The more news I read the more I believe that a revolution is coming, or is the government going to have us completely controlled before enough people realize a revolution is necessary.

First pets

Now school bags

next infants.

Chipping didn't become cool until Katrina displaced thousands of pets -- again a solution looking for a problem that leads to the loss of freedom.

This is just like in the (excellent) book Little Brother by Cory Doctorrow.

Don't make children livestock they need there own privacy as well. If you keep taking children's privacy, and if you take away all the fun classes in school nobody will want to learn in school and education will go to the craper even more. I see this myself I just graduated 8th grade there 2 elective that weren't even electives because you had to take them and they sucked. You had to periods of math and language because they want you to do better on the cst's (california standardized tests) all because of NO CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND AND GEORGE BUSH.

liberty and security should balance equally on the scales of democracy.

i wonder if conservative leaning students will become future liberals because of the constant surveillance.

Real Id Act

"A solution in search of a problem..." great line. Horrible program. Email your representatives.

I would trade bags every day depending on how much stuff I needed to bring with me. Are they planning on chipping every bag they might possibly use?

They plan on chipping all of us. Read the real ID Act summary on Wikipedia. They we're going to use rfid chips in our national ID cards, but we'll see if the American people take that. I hope not. Then I'd have to go underground.

LONG LIVE BIG BROTHER!!!

I just wanted to say that.

Do you want to be enslaved? It's the mark of the beast.

You can defeat these snitch-chips with a small EMP or a Faraday cage.
