Do you think something like this is worth it?

Just wait till they start wanting to put RFID chips in our bodies.  They're already in clothing and other products.  They'll probably gain acceptance through small things like this.  They are the next bar code.  I'm sure we can expect the gov't to use the "war on terror" excuse to start putting them in us for tracking, identification, and other stuff.  I know I personally will not approve of these chips (in us), but the majority of America who are brainwashed by the media will accept them..if not demand them.
