VeriChip Implants 222 People With RFID 306
cnet-declan writes "Anyone remember VeriChip, a company that came up with the idea of implanting chips in humans for tracking them? They've been behind ideas like RFID tagging immigrant and guest workers at the border, and they've persuaded a former Bush Health Secretary to get himself chipped. In this CNET News.com article, we offer an update on how successful the idea has been. It turns out that, according to IPO documents, 222 people have been implanted, with sales revenue of $100,000."

Scary thing about this is that the vast majority of the people I talk to do not even know this feature is available, less enabled by default.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Nowhere in there does it say anything about the constitution being intended to secure the rights of foreigners.
It's ok though, you can rest secure in the fact that the vast majority of Americans don't actually know what the constitution says. If you keep making shit up, most people will believe you.
