Chip implants should always be a choice...good pro-active move on the part of the legislature here...no person should ever be forced to be implanted with a chip...agree...BD
California legislators want to prohibit people from forcing others to receive tracking implants. Sen. Joe Simitian, a Palo Alto Democrat, announced that his Senate Bill 362, which would ban the practice, passed by a 28-9 vote last week. "RFID technology is not in and of itself the issue. RFID is a minor miracle, with all sorts of good uses," Simitian said in a statement. "But we shouldn't condone forced 'tagging' of humans. It's the ultimate invasion of privacy." The bill is headed for the desk of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for approval. If Schwarzenegger signs SB 362, California will join Wisconsin and North Dakota to ban forced RFID implantation.
Once again, California leads the nation in recognizing potential threats to individual privacy and self-determination posed by new technologies."
