In love, Shanna From: "ScanThisNews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SCAN THIS NEWS 5/19/99 RE: Who can I talk to about IDs for school lunch programs? Hello Eric: In response to your request for input on the "pros and cons" of some of the various methods and technologies that could be used to identify, monitor, and track children in the administration of school lunch programs, I have the following to offer. I am thoroughly convinced that as you explore this issue you will ultimately conclude, the only truly secure method for record keeping and monitoring of children is to use implantable microchip IDs. Implanted microchips are the only solution where "positive identification" is perceived as a need. All of the other techniques you mentioned - i.e. ID number, fingerprint scans, and voices recognition - are too fallible. They are all prone to error and hacking. They are not reliable. With implanted microchips, a complete and accurate accounting can be made of each child's lunch purchase. Each child can be numbered, monitored, and tracked with no obtrusive interaction with the monitoring system. In fact, the children will not even know when or how they are being tracked, monitored, and counted. Keep in mind: Kids and adults forget login passwords and numbers. People are already becoming tired of all the many different cards and digital keys they have to keep up with. And, logging in and out of systems takes up too much time using conventional identification techniques. To suggest yet another one of the conventional methods is not likely to sell well with a finicky public. For these and other reasons which I will get into, I'm certain you will ultimately conclude - after long, careful study - that implanted microchips are your best choice. They are the only identification technology which will both eliminate the inherent potential for errors and at the same time relieve the recipient of the inconveniences of multiple cards, memorized numbers, and arcane passwords. Let's face it: ID numbers, ID cards, voice recognition, fingerscans, etc., all require considerable, time-consuming interaction with the "accounting device" - whatever that turns out to be. Imagine each student, for instance, having to pause upon entering school to get their finger scanned, then again when they go outside for Physical Education, another time when they came back in, and once again when they leave school at the end of the day. Add to this all the other interactions where ID is necessary, such as the lunch program, testing, counseling, field trips, ball games, after school activities, and - well, you get the idea. All this would add hours to the school day! The implanted microchip will eliminate all this time-consuming interaction. Oh sure, there'll be numerous programs implemented in the interim using conventional systems. But ultimately, all of these will be deemed unreliable, tamper-prone, cumbersome to use, and generally unworkable. Why waste time on the other technologies when they are destined to fail? You would, however, be truly remiss to limit your thinking to only the school lunch program. As you are undoubtedly aware, considerable attention is being given presently to the issue of safety in public schools. Everyone, from the President and U.S. Attorney General on down through Congress, is currently wrestling with the problem of how to protect children in school. It's perfectly conceivable that whoever first suggests the implanted microchip ID system for school children will be sitting on a virtual gold mine. The key to success will be to time the proposal to coincide with some national tragedy or emergency. A cadre of Congressmen and legislators will also first have to be cultivated. Additionally, you'll need an established bleeding-hearts organization to beat the media drum - the anti-gun groups are well-seasoned at this task. Then, when the tragedy hits and everyone is rushing to adopt a "solution" - any solution - spring the microchip proposal. This is a tried and proven method. The legislation will, of course, need to have already been drafted well ahead of time, so get an early start. As you know, the pilot programs for microchip implants using animals have been a huge success. The initial phase was to implant non-domesticated animals such as cows and other livestock. The program was then moved on into the domesticated animal group. Initially, there where some who were skeptical of whether the public would accept this application. Those fears were quickly abated, however, when the public rushed out in droves to get their dogs and cats chipped. Very soon, a whole generation of kids will have grown up around pets having an ID microchip buried just under their flesh. These kids will have seen that their cuddly little Fido and cute little Felix had no adverse affect whatsoever from the tiny number-encoded implant that can't be seen or felt. Unquestionably, the conditioning process is ripe for moving on to children. I doubt there will be much serious objection from the majority of parents who have, after all, already VOLUNTARILY gotten their children numbered and their pets chipped. In case you are not already familiar with the technology, implantable microchips are about the size of a grain of rice. Each one has a unique number programmed into it. The ones used for animals, marketed in North America primarily by Avid, use the numbering convention of: NNN-NNN-NNN (with "N" representing a numerical digit). These nine-digit numbers, not coincidentally, correspond nicely with the Social Security Number which also has nine digits in the format: NNN-NN-NNNN. Each child's SSN could simply be programmed into their individual chip, alleviating the need to develop yet another numbering system. The implant only takes a minute and can be done using local anesthesia. All children in a given school could be chipped in a single day. With present technology, microchip data can be scanned from slightly more than a foot away. As improvements are made, the distance for scanning will be increased to several feet and perhaps several yards very soon. The scanners themselves cost only few hundred dollars and the cost will quickly go down as more go into use. Implanted microchips will stay permanently attached to their host for as long as their flesh clings to their bones - they last for ever. Remember, the attraction for implanted microchips goes far, FAR beyond the obvious benefits of simply tracking kids through school. Once the entire population is chipped, State and Federal government agencies throughout the world will finally have a tool to completely eliminate all crime. The problems of terrorism, dead-beat dads, illegal aliens, welfare fraud, insurance fraud, tax cheats, AND ALL OTHER CRIMES will be totally and completely eliminated once the microchip concept is launched! Eventually, chip scanners will, by law, be required at entrances to all publicly-accessible buildings. The precedence for this was set when governments began requiring handicap parking spaces at all public facilities, and with the bans on smoking in privately-owned public establishments. It will be a simple matter - with the justification of eliminating crime and fraud - to require every establishment to install microchip scanners at all entrances and then only to allow access to those individuals whose chip-scan is approved. This in itself could effectively eliminate robberies. Businesses will only be allowed to hire workers who have chips; this will serve to crack down on the employment of illegal-immigrants. Only those people with chips will be allowed to drive so that the state can get "bad drivers" off the road. No one will be allowed to board a plane without a chip; this will eliminate international terrorism. All purchases will necessitate a microchip implant which will stop check-writing and credit card fraud. No public, social benefits will be allowed unless and until the recipient has a chip - of course to stop welfare fraud. A lifetime of information can be easily databased using a microchip system. All movement, transactions, and interactions can be recorded and monitored once everyone has their own unique identifier. Every detail of a person's life will finally be accessible to authorities through the wide-spread use of implanted ID chips. This will take several years - perhaps even a generation - to fully implement however. But, it must begin somewhere and school children are the most likely candidate. All of the tools and mechanisms to enforce compliance are already available and in place. And the public has demonstrated a readiness and willingness to accept such a system. Once the idea catches on, the "implantees" will undoubtedly see the huge benefit of using their microchips for all of their routine monitoring and control applications that they have become so fondly accustomed to - such as licensing, identification, check-writing, traveling, buying and selling, voting, etc. As you can see, the possibilities are truly endless. They'll appreciate the "safety and security" the microchips provide. You may ask: What if some ungrateful social misfit thinks he can "escape the system" and attempts to surgically remove his chip? The answer is simple, he'll not be able to function socially without one! The framework for this was developed and established with the Social Security Number. In the future, all transactions and social interactions will require a machine-readable implanted microchip in place of the number. Chip scanners will be installed everywhere; just like the product scanners are now. O.K., there'll be some opposition at first. There'll be those who'll put up a small amount of resistance. Some will holler: "The Constitution this, and the Constitution that." But only those social misfits, kooks, and rebels with something to hide will hold out strongly. Little will they know, the very act of objecting, in itself, will suffice to "identify" them as trouble-makers. They can then be arrested and force-chipped as part of the booking process! Besides, most Americans - after they've been reminded of all benefits and services they will sacrifice if they refuse - will soon acquiesce. This is how it worked when Congress enacted laws to coerce parents into numbering their children at birth. A few grumbled for a short while. But, once the threat of no-longer being able to claim their children on tax returns set in, they got right in line down at the Social Security Administration and had their children numbered, one-by-one. Besides, give me one good reason that a responsible member of society would object to a simple little ID chip, in light of all the benefits to society they would provide? The injections hurt only slightly more than ear-piercing, and nowadays they're piercing every conceivable part of their body. It's many-times less painful than circumcision. After a short healing period, the chips are completely painless, can't be felt, and can't be seen. With all the convenience they'll provide to both society and individuals alike, why should anyone object? Clearly, only lawbreakers with something to hide will complain. Don't give me that religious argument. Everyone will still have a right to believe anything they want to. Besides, no one's going to force anyone to get a chip; they just simply won't be able to function in normal society without it. It'll be each individual's own choice whether to get one or not. By the way, since the public schools have been so successful in their "drug and sedate" campaign, most of the "problem" kids - the "rebels" - are already on Ritalin and Prozac. As a result, they won't be capable of resisting and therefore the microchip program is going to be much easier to get established there.

Several international companies are consulting scientists on ways of developing microchip implants for their workers to measure their timekeeping and whereabouts. The technology, which has been proven on pets and human volunteers, would enable firms to track staff all around a building or complex. The data could enable them to draw up estimates of workers' efficiency and productivity. Professor Kevin Warwick of Reading University, a leading cybernetics expert, has been approached by several firms including a leading software company with a British subsidiary and Blackbaud Inc, the American software giant. Warwick hit the headlines last summer when he had a silicon chip transponder surgically implanted in his forearm. He was subsequently able to show how a computer could monitor every move he made using detectors that were scattered around the building in which he worked. In his experiment, Warwick showed how the system could also benefit workers by programming it to switch on lights, computers and heating systems as he entered a room - and turning them off when he left. The technology is likely to have a strong appeal to companies with high labour costs, for which small increases in staff productivity can have a big impact on profits. It is also relatively cheap - just a few pounds for each person, according to Warwick. "For a business the potential is obvious," he said. "You can tell when people clock into work and when they leave the building. You would know at all times exactly where they were and who they were with." Warwick admits that people will be "shocked" by the idea of companies asking their employees to have such implants. He said: "It is pushing at the limits of what society will accept but it is not such a big deal. Many employees already carry swipecards. I think this is just a step on from that." His research follows earlier experiments by companies such as the telecommunications firm AT&T that showed how smart cards carried by staff could be programmed to relay a worker's position back to a central computer. AT&T Laboratories in Cambridge has been working on its "smart badges" for two years. They use ultrasound to tell the main computer exactly where the wearer is, allowing their desktop computers and phone calls to "follow" them around the building. The company has, however, stopped short of suggesting staff should have devices inserted into their bodies. The first practical application of such technology is, however, not in humans but in pets. Under the government's new "passports for pets" scheme, which replaces the quarantine system from 2001, dogs will have a microchip implanted beneath their skin to identify who they belong to. Representatives from police forces in Britain and the United States have also expressed interest in the implant technology, according to Warwick. He believes that submitting to an implant could be made a condition, for example, of being granted a gun license.

Sanders is an electronics engineer, inventor, author and consultant to various government organizations as well as IBM, General Electric, Honeywell and Teledyne. He is also a winner of the Presidents and Governors Award for Design Excellence. "Thirty two years of my life was spent in design engineering and electronics designing microchips in the Bio-Med field. In 1968 I became involved, almost by accident, in a research and development project in regard to a spinal bypass for a young lady who had severed her spine. They were looking at possibly being able to connect motor nerves etc. It was a project we were all excited about. There were 100 people involved and I was senior engineer in charge of the project. This project culminated in the microchip that we talk about now a - microchip that I believe is going to be the positive identification and mark of the beast. This microchip is recharged by body temperature changes. Obviously you can't go in and have your battery changed every so often, so the microchip has a recharging circuit that charges based upon the body temperature changes. Over one and a half million dollars was spent finding out that the two places in the body that the temperature changes the most rapidly are in the forehead (primary position), right below the hairline, and the back of the hand (alternative position). Working on the microchip, we had no idea about it ever being an identification chip. We looked at it as being a very humanitarian thing to do. We were all excited about what we were doing. We were doing high-level integration for the very first time. This team was made up of people out of San Jose, people from Motorola, General Electric, Boston Medical Center - it was quite a group of people. My responsibility had to do with the design of the chip itself, not the medical side of if. As the chip came to evolve, there came a time in the project when they said that the financial return on bypassing severed spines is not a very lucrative thing for us to be into, so we really need to look at some other areas. We noticed that the frequency of the chip had a great effect upon behavior and so we began to branch off and look possibly at behavior modification. The project almost turned into electronic acupuncture because what they ended up with was embedding the microchip to put out a signal which effected certain areas. They were able to determine that you could cause behavioral change. One of the projects was called the Phoenix project which had to do with Vietnam veterans. We had a chip that was called the Rambo chip. This chip would actually cause extra adrenaline flow. I wonder how many of you know that if you can stop the output of the the pituitary gland (the signal from the pituitary gland that causes oestrogen flow), you can put a person into instant menopause and there is no conception. This was tested in India and other different parts of the world. So here you have got a birth control tool, based on a microchip. Microchips can also be used for migraine headaches, behavior modification, upper/downer, sexual stimulant and sexual depressant. This is nothing more that electronic acupuncture, folks. There are 250,000 components in the microchip, including a tiny lithium battery. I fought them over using lithium as a battery source but NASA was doing a lot with lithium at that time and it was the going thing. I had talked to a doctor at the Boston Medical Center about what that concentration of lithium in the body could do if the chip broke down. He said that you would get a boil or grievous sore. As the development moved along, I left the project and came back as a consultant several times. I was used in many meetings as an expert witness in regard to the uses of the microchip. I was in one meeting where it was discussed. How can you control a people if you can't identify them ?" All of a sudden the idea came: "Lets make them aware of lost children, etc." This was discussed in meetings almost like people were cattle. The CIA came up with an idea of putting pictures of lost children on milk cartons. Since the chip is now accepted, you don't see the pictures anymore, do you. It's served it's purpose. As we developed this microchip, as the identification chip became the focal point, there were several things that were wanted. They wanted a name, an image (picture of your face), Social security number with the international digits on it, finger print identification, physical description, family history, address, occupation, income tax information and criminal record. I've been in 17 "one world" meetings where this has been discussed, meetings in Brussels, Luxembourg, tying together the finances of the world. Just recently in the newspapers they've talked about the Health Care Program, the "Womb to Tomb" identification! A positive identification. There are bills before congress right now that will allow them to inject a microchip in your child at the time of birth for identification purposes. The president of the United States of America, under the "Emigration of Control Act of 1986", Section 100 , has the authority to deem whatever type of identification is necessary - whether it be an invisible tattoo or electronic media under the skin. So I think you have to look at the facts, folks: this is not coming as some big shock. The paving has been done ahead of time."

FAQ: INDIVIDUAL MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY (Frequently Asked Questions) The complete Microchip FAQ is available at: http://www.networkusa.org/fingerprint/page5a/fp-chip-faq.html INTRODUCTION There are basically three categories of individual microchip devices available today; they are: 1) implantable microchip capsules which are either injected or surgically implanted for permanent applications; 2) insertable microchip capsules which may be introduced into body cavities or swallowed for temporary requirements; and, 3) external devices that can be either worn or carried for applications where only intermittent use is needed. Of these three types of individual microchip technologies, a multitude of applications already exist, and new ones are being considered. The commercially available implantable chips have limited functionality using present technology. Typically, these implantable and insertable chips are only capable of storing very small amounts of information or monitoring a limited number of specific body functions. This information can then be transmitted to an external receiver. ************************************************************************** Frequently Asked Questions: 1) What implantable microchip systems currently exist? 2) How do individual microchips work? 3) Who is presently using implantable ID chips? 4) Who keeps track of the animals using their implanted ID chips? 5) What new and future uses are emerging for individual microchips? (clip - DUE TO ITS SIZE, I CANNOT INCLUDE THIS LONG EMAIL IN ITS ENTIRETY HERE. CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR MORE. HERE IS THE INTERESTING ANSWER TO #5 THOUGH... 5) What new and future uses are emerging for individual microchips? A. There are very few official public reports which reveal exactly what is being considered for possible future uses of microchip technology. Several reasons exist for this secrecy. One is that such information is generally proprietary and companies do not want to expose their technology. However, some of the uses for microchip implants that have been reported in public news outlets include: o At least one researcher, Professor Kevin Warwick (the same on who was injected with a microchip in the ten-day test) has publicly discussed using microchip implants to: control gun ownership; regulate access to public facilities; and, monitor employees.[4] o The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is developing implantable microchip technology for a number of new monitoring technologies for both space-related and commercial applications.[5] o A newly developed technology will allow prescription drugs to be automatically dispensed and administered using implanted microchips. The chip itself will contain tiny amounts of concentrated doses in hundreds of individuals compartments. The chip can be programmed to release the drug upon command or on regularly scheduled intervals.[7] o International bankers may be considering using implantable ID chips for financial transactions.[9] o General Motors, Toyota, and Ford Motor Company are among the major auto makers using microchip technology in conjunction with satellites the Global Positioning System (GPS) to locate stolen automobiles. Additionally, these systems are used to lock and unlock car doors, start or stop the automobile's engine, or to summons emergency personnel in the event the vehicle is involved in an accident, which can also be detected by the system. Monitoring is handled at a single, central location.[10] o Another company, GlobalTrac, claims to have a similar system in place that can be used to locate children, dignitaries, and senior citizens who wear one of their chip-imbedded bracelets.[11] MANUFACTURERS AND DISTRIBUTORS [1] A.V.I.D. http://www.avidid.com/index.html AVID Canada http://avidcanada.com Trovan Identification Systems http://www.trovan.com/companyinfo.html Destron Fearing Corporation http://destronfearing.com/index.html C U R R E N T A N I M A L A P P L I C A T I O N S [2] Detroit May Track its Dogs with Microchips http://www.govtech.net/onlineservices/news/sept1198-5.shtm [3] Pets to get anti-rabies passports in four years http://www.telegraph.co.uk:80/et?ac=000118613908976&rtmo=kJqJbZ1p&atmo=99999 999&pg=/et/98/9/24/npet24.html C U R R E N T H U M A N A P P L I C A T I O N S HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION [4] Professor Kevin Warwick claimed today to be the first person in the world to have a computer chip surgically implanted into his body. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/tech/DailyNews/chiptransplant980825.html ---Related Story--- Professor Feels Himself Become Closer to the Machine Chipping at the Future ABC News online http://abcnews.go.com/sections/world/DailyNews/cyborgman.html ---Related Story--- CNN interactive- Is human chip implant wave of the future? http://cnn.com:80/TECH/computing/9901/14/chipman.idg/ I M P L A N T A B L E M I C R O C H I P S I N T H E N E W S [8] Microchip implants to foil VIP kidnaps By Bruce Johnston in Rome http://www.telegraph.co.uk:80/et?ac=000118613908976&rtmo=aw3wHaxL&atmo=rrrrr rYs&pg=/et/98/10/6/wchip06.html F U T U R E U S E S - F I N A N C I A L T R A N S A C T I O N S {9] TIME Magazine: The Giants Want Your Money - The Future of Money http://cgi.pathfinder.com/time/magazine/1998/dom/980427/cover1.html T R A N S I T I O N A L T E C H N O L O G I E S Before personal microchips ever come into wide-spread use, there will be many transitional technologies in the interim.
