You really have to pay better attention...

Sauer was bemoaning the fact that a Georgia state legislator was proposing
legislation to outlaw implanting people with them chips.

I merely tossed out several possible examples that big brother could use to
justify doing so, up to and including prisoners in pentatentiary,
parolees, probationers etc etc. Sauer should be praising the advocation,
there has been weirder legislation proposed in all 50.

Albeit the idea of chipping criminals has potential for law enforcement but
probably oversteps the boundaries of human rights and privacy issues.

 RC>> or

 RC>> Same theme as above, but the cashier has to deny the sale..

 BK>  IOW, make store cashiers cops?

Arent they already?

Dont they have to check ID for tobacky and booze/beer?

Irrelevant, though to the chipping point, it was just a scenario,
regardless of how realistic or unrealistic it could be.
