I took this from a post on another list Im on.......---- But this was in a
local paper: (News of the Weird column - compiled by Chuck Shepherd,
Universal Press Syndicate)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>>" Professor Kevin Warwick of Reading (England) University told "The
Times" of London in May that "several" firms had approached him about
surgically implanting transponder microchips into their workers as a way
of keeping track of their hours and whereabouts. Cybernetics expert
Warwick last year put a chip into his own forearm to demonstrate the
technology, which will be further exhibited in England beginning in 2001
to keep track of pets adn might, he said, be used to keep track of people
who are granted licenses to carry firearms."

Sounds like Big Brother is getting a lot of help from technology!! The
scary part is that the chips are so easy to implant- just a shot, like
for the flu, etc...... England is a small, controlled population, easy to
test stuff like this out.
