Replying to a message of Steve Asher to Bob Ackley:

 SA> Mulling over Bob Ackley to Steve Asher 18 Jul 2006

 SA>> The rice-sized microchip is implanted in a patient's right arm above
 SA>> the elbow and can be detected using equipment at the hospital.

 BA>> Should be implanted on the inside of the upper left arm.  Right
 BA>> where those tattoos were placed something over half a century ago.

 SA> They might put the implant in the left arm, for those who have no
 SA> right arm. For the moment, it is just the nanny state at work seeking
 SA> to "protect the vulnerable"; before long it can expand into a means
 SA> of identification and control of [ illegal immigrants / terror
 SA> suspects / access to secure facilities / kidnap
"prevention" / school
 SA> lunches and libraries / voting / purchasing etc ] and ultimately
 SA> everyone.

You missed the point about where the Nazis tattooed id numbers on their concentration
camp inmates ...
