Are ID cards enough could we go further?

why stop at ID cards, we love our pets wether they be dogs, cats,horses, etc. and to protect them and to identify them if they are stolen or lost, we Micro chip them, well there is the answer micro chip all babies at birth, forget ID cards, and give the parents of children some piece of mind, after all some 20,000 people go missing around the world every year, and its also true a good deal of them disapear of their own accord, however there are a good number who just get lost, or like the madeline case are abducted against their will, now madeline had one well known defect in one eye, but thousands of children would all look very similar to the average person in the street however airport and border scanners could be modified to detect the chip if anyone was trying to remove a child or a person for that matter, from a country when have no legal right to do so, now my guess is this question will have all you lefties and human rights people setting your keyboard on fire, so lets hear it

ID cards are not enough to ensure the safety of Britains which Mr Brown holds so dear. A mandatory curfew after 9pm would cut crime immeasurably, as would mandatory stop and search powers. He is right in believing that if we adopt the powers used 60 years ago, citizens will be safer and the state stronger.





The only flaw in his logic is that then we were engaged in a World War with thousands dying every day; now, we have had one incident and a couple of failed incidents since 9/11. Fifty dead, as many as die on our roads in a week. By imposing these restrictions on ourselves, the terrorists achieve their aims, as we spoil the quality of life of millions, day in, day out.





I forgot to mention that this Government are totally incapable of administering such a scheme, doing a paper round would be beyond the ability of most of them.





Personal safety and security are not the drivers, it is the expansion of state control which is Mr Brown's real motive.
Reply:I think the "we are not pets" argument is quite a good one.





Another one is "I dont want the goverment to be able to know were i am all the time, thats worse then 1984, talk about a police state"





Yet another is "where are we going to get the money from".





But I prefer the 2nd one. And i totally agree sumo_1967

Unless you want to track everyone's movements, and to do so all the time?


Oh, you do. Well, you hav a right to your opinion, and to abuse your body in any way you see fit.
Reply:Freedom means the freedom to disappear, and to change. Take away that freedom and the terrorists have already won. Sometimes the cost of protecting ourselves is too high to pay. There has never been a system that can not be subverted by those who have the need to do so.
Reply:I don't like those micro chips, they're never crispy enough. I'd much rather spend the money and go to a decent chippy. Cod and chips please and lots of salt and vinegar, yummm.
Reply:I REALLY hope your sarcasm has been lost in translation somewhere and you are only joking (albeit a bad one).





The last government who compulsorily identified people was in Germany about 60 years ago ... remember them?

Reply:Not without infringing on one's personal privacy. I personally do not trust our Government enough to let them put any device in my body. Read 1984 by Orwell--then you'll understand.
Reply:Do you really want to advertise your status to the rest of the world?





I think there should be a point where this should be limited to only for majorly important aspects.
Reply:I don't want a damn chip in me. Feel free to put one in yourself,dog,kid,.no one is stopping you. All prisoners should get the chip

Reply:That takes things too far. Sure it would be helpful in some cases, but that doesn't outweigh the negatives. Even though that technology is probably based on good intentions, there are plenty of people out there who can find ways to abuse it. Imagine a perverted child abuser with good technical skills for instance. All they have to do is punch some keys and they could come up with a target, it's background, and current location. A good hacker could realistically get into virtually any system you come up with and have all kinds of personal information with a few keystrokes. I have no doubt that there are plenty out there enterprising enough to find a market for this information. Nope, personal micro-chips is fine for pets, bad for humans.
