are they made of steal?

[Jonathan Burnett]

I imagine a creditcard style security card.
No harm in swipe cards, except that they're a false sense of safety combined with an easy way to spend money.

Start implanting proximity oriented microchips in them - then that chip can later be used to serve as a personal identification and tied to the bank account or credit for commerce!

[Winston Smith]

Every time you swipe a card, there is a computer somewhere recording where you are and what you are doing. That's a scary thought.

I want a chip implanted right in the middle of my back or even on my forehead so that I can just walk around and doors will open This will be Great! Think about how great it can be used to make people who are criminals not want to even try to do anything wrong again. It will make society peaceful and safe. Maybe OBAMA will pass this soon he is unifying the world together we can have peace and safe schools finally! Obama is the answer for the world today!
