Paging Mr. Orwell!

Warrantless wiretapping, and now RFID chips in your passport! Yes, the U.S. has begun issuing passports that contain "biometric information stored on remotely readable microchips, in spite of lingering security and privacy concerns."

Freedom to travel? Not anymore.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6... It seems merely a matter of time before the whole of the country either continues hitting the snooze button or finally rolls its fat ass out of bed and begins to drown out the voices of empire! It would appear as if most have ingested about FIVE THOUSAND MILLIGRAMS

The only privacy we ever had was always in our own minds.

You know that in order to win the war on terror you must sacrafice your personal freedoms. So what is your problem, comrade?

There are too many puzzle pieces Commander Agi. The same government that cannot get the lights on in Iraq and New Orleans wants us to register and RFID every single chicken, duck, cow, goat, sheep, etc, but they weakened food standards while they criminalize any critism of agribusiness.

I am almost shocked that they aren't yammering about RFId'ing our physical bodies.

Are they RFID'ing our cash as well?

Orwell that ends well

I love it when they describe concerns as "lingering." Poor things just don't know when to quit.
