Human Chips

There are different kinds, apparently ... short distance and long distance broadcast. Digital Angel was supposed to have one that would allow you to monitor your teen's movements via a website.

It's the mark of the beast, I tell you.

No corporation would ever own my ass to the extent that I'd permit them to chip it.

edit to add: Digital Angel does have a GPS "solution".

According to the rfid journal

What is the read range for a typical RFID tag?
There really is no such thing as a "typical" RFID tag, and the read range of passive tags depends on many factors: the frequency of operation, the power of the reader, interference from other RF devices and so on. In general, low-frequency tags are read from a foot (0.33 meter) or less. High-frequency tags are read from about three feet (1 meter) and UHF tags are read from 10 to 20 feet. Where longer ranges are needed, such as for tracking railway cars, active tags use batteries to boost read ranges to 300 feet (100 meters) or more.

So I was wrong about my snarky inches to feet comment. A RFID tag will transmit about as far as a shouting human voice.

I assure you that we are talking only about a technological glitch would could be overcome by some very smart people in high places.

Perhaps a very long range RFID will be invented in the future. You may be right, you may be wrong.

But...

You're either going to have a lot of low powered transmitters like we have today, or a few high powered ones. You're not going to have an army of high powered transmitters all broadcasting simultaneously. The interference would be too overwhelming.
