I'm glad you think of your dogs life as being more valuable than your children.

What if your son, Doug, were MIA? Would you like the ability to locate his whereabouts or continue to have him be a POW?

I'm not saying I would track my daughter on a 24/7 basis. If she were missing for an extended amount of time, I would then call the proper authorities and hopefully they would find her before she were seriously hurt.

Even though my vote is to kill, kill, kill I don't see what the huge deal with micro chipping a kid is either. I mean I wouldn't really care if I had one in me. I don't have anything to hide so I don't care who knows where I'm at. But in dogs it's a chip that's placed under the skin. I'm sure if need be it could be easily removed. So upon adulthood couldn't they be removed?

As an adult, you should have the option of it's removal. If Laci Peterson had one, maybe she'd still be alive today. And that goes for the hundreds of thousands of children and adults that end up missing each year.

The question here is "does this mean active or passive tracking" or tracking at all. The chip in a dog or cat is not actively tracked. There is no "Dog control center" in Boise Idaho that has a big giant screen with little blips on the screen. It is a passive chip that can be scanned to get info that is embedded on the chip. If they put that type of chip in a baby, whats it going to prevent? If the child is kidnapped you still would not be able to run down to the Batcave turn on the Bat computer and see the location on the big Bat map.
Active tracking would required a transmitter and a power source so it is not feasable.

That's retarded. I'm not going to monitor my adult son's whereabouts. Would you put a chip in your head so your Mom could monitor you?

Yep, I most certainly would. I talk to my Mom everyday. If 2 or 3 days went by and she hadn't heard from me, she could start questioning my whereabouts. I care about my life and would do anything to protect it.

You're right there. There's no way to actively track a dog chip. They get scanned. But it's not impossible to think that there will be technology available to actively track a chip small enough that it wouldn't be too large to actually implant. That's all hypothetical and all. But isn't this entire thread hypothetical. If that kind of technology were available it wouldn't bother me at all if they started chiping kids. I do think however before we start invading our childrens bodys we should start punishing criminals. And I mean really punishing them not this pidly crap we call punishment now.

Make people responsible for their actions and then maybe these things won't happen as often. But on that note there are always first time offenders who kidnap and assult kids for their first crime. If the kids were able to be tracked chances are we'd be able to get back almost all of the kids. Does anyone have any statistics on the percentage of kids abducted by strangers that are found alive? I bet this would increase that number.

I compare it to the anti-car jack systems, you phone the police or who ever is the company that you got it from and they activate the chip to find out where your stolen car is:shrug:

I agree with you but then we'll pay the criminals 2.5 million dollars for their pain and suffering. It's a no win situation anymore. Very scary!

That's why we start killing them. As soon as they're found guilty off with their heads. Can't sue if you're dead. :biggrin:

Your onstar is powered by a big old car battery. You gonna hook one of them up to your kid and have them drag it around? :bubble:

I'm not a kidnapper, but if I were I'd just cut the chip out of the kid when I snatched him. Or do something to muffle the signal.

:yeahthat: and if they implanted it in the heel of a foot you would get a better signal if their feet were pointing toward the sky. :yikes:

A more heinous and insidious idea I have yet to hear in my short 30ish years on this earth.

I hate to invoke the 1984 cliche, and I hate the word Orwellian, but that's nothing else springs readily to mind, except "horrifying".



Besides, it wouldn't take much to make the chips remote detonate.
