If everyone in this country had to have their identity verified before they did anything involving money transfers, etc, Terrorists would no longer have the freedom of movement they now have, but non terrorist, honest Americans would still retain that freedom.

At least that seems to be the case.

Sorry.
Your entire theory is based not so much on a flawed leap of logic but the failure to consider the most glaringly obvious alternatives.
While you blithely stroll about your technologically gated community ( with an implanted microchip, no less&#33 any terrorist worth his salt will be taking potshots from the trees outside.
You make the assumption from step one that a terrorist would attempt to work from within your proposed system.
My hypothetical terrorist would respond:

Badges? We don't NEED no stinkin' badges!

Bang, you're dead.

[ShockAndAwe^i^]

And the look on those bandito's faces were priceless!
But I have to agree with him about the concept of the identity/microchip thing.
It is more than just mentioned in the bible.....which I believe.
It's amazing that this is so clearly said 2000 years ago. thump thump
The Ultimate no hack is on the way!

How difficult would it be to impersonate a microchip's signature?

How available is the technology?

If every place you visited would have a device that read the chip, how hard would it be to crack the encryption code for duplication?

$500.00 programs that supposedly must be registered to get full benifit, are easily cracked into by 12 year olds.

Is it that easy with the microchip?

Would a terrorist have that kind of technology?

Veteranarians currently use the microchip for pets.

Does anyone on here have more info on this subject?

Thanks

Well i managed to stay out of the debates in here for a long time...
But this post...


This must be post by "Dumb & Dangerous"

I really hope you just wanna shock and start a debate??
Cause otherwise your a danger to man kind with these thoughts.
See my doubt in this above... your post tends to be a questionaire but also concludes.
So i'm not real sure on what your stand is on this one? But anyway...

Probably the problem will not be civilians, you say they have nothing to fear because they're not doing anything so they don't have to worry...

Did you ever imagined what and how the world would look if Sadam Hussain had the control over such system. Or better what if El qaida had hacked the chip from Bush.
Do you really think politician wouldn't start using it fo their benefit.
Marketeers would try to get a hand on this infosysteem. is a goldmine for those and so worth a lot of money. Who's gonna control the systems?
Wouldn't Bill Clinton manipulate the system to prove he was on different places as Monica was.
Should a terroris not just kidnap civilians, force them to made money transfers. (And then kill them).
Who do you think should control this system, and who's gonna control them.
You really trust your governement with such a powerfull weapon in their hands. You really thinkthey wouldn't use these info on their political campaigns.

Really i think these systems are no danger to all that wanna play dirty Terrorists, politicians, dictators/regimes people with economical intrest and power (like Microsft/bill gates). They all will only benefit from these kinda systems.
The normal people are the ones who must fear this kinda threats and fight i with all they can! they will be the real victims in the end...

You really think this will ban terrorism? There are way to many what if's in this... more that are a danger to freedom then they are for world peace....
