What are your thoughts on National ID Cards and RFID Chips?

I heard that all new passports have this RFID chips in them and they can track you from this chip.


Also, the National ID's are supposed to be in the works this year. Again, with an RFID Chip.


The conspricay theorist say that in the future they are going to chip all products in stores and all money so they will know exaclty how much money you have and what you bought.


Are people willing to give up there privacy for so call "security"?

What are your thoughts on National ID Cards and RFID Chips?
I am not willing. They are already tracking the public.
Reply:It's a rumor, probably from some religious nut who is worried about mark of the beast 666, etc.
Reply:There are RFID chips in passports but it is just a security device which hold information, they do not track you. My new passport has one and all it holds is the information in my passport
Reply:The National ID is already in play. So far 3 states have opted out. This is a perfect example of a government run amok. This is just one more reason I dislike Bush and Cheney so intensely.
Reply:It will provide a false sense of security to have the government know your every habit. We need LESS government not more tools for government to use against us.
Reply:I already have a National ID card, Social Security! No one is ever going to put a chip in me, however if I should happen to have dementia or Alzheimer's, it might be nice if my family could track me if I happened to stray! But that would be their choice, not mine! I don't happen to want to give the government any more control over me than they absolutely must have to protect this country! I hate losing my rights, it always starts small %26amp; for your own good!
Reply:The cards are a good idea but the RFID chips idea scare me!
Reply:Ever heard of your social security card or driver's license? It is a national ID card. I do not see the big deal behind this. If the government thinks that issuing these will make our lives operate more smoothly, then so be it. The government is going to do what they want. If you do not like it, vote and elect people who hold the same opinions as you.
