I hope! --Declan] I think not. What's not a joke is that animal implants were used in humans in SE Asia (Can't remember where - Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia?) to track poor women who had birth control implants. Sorry I don't have a reference since I read it several years ago. I know this is Apr. 1st, but there was a re-authorization bill for the PATH program, so it does exist I couldn't find the original authorization Bill for PATH but its on the HHS web search. Also they have a HMIS (Homeless Management Information System) see EPIC. None of this is shocking from the New World Orderers. www.epic.org - search homeless, HMIS, RFID Since the homeless may need medical care, and sometimes get state benefits, they need identification they don't carry around. So HHS may want to put an ID chip in them like a dog at the vet or the women aforementioned. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: [Politech] HHS announces program to implant RFID tags in homeless[priv] Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2004 11:15:37 -0500 From: Tom Lipscomb <tomlipscomb@private> Reply-To: <tomlipscomb@private> To: 'Declan McCullagh' <declan@private> How bout implanting RFD tags with the US Postal Service? It is such a pain keeping track of these "homeless." That way they could always get their welfare and social security checks and VA payments and drugs wherever they wandered in their homeless way? And the geheimstatspolizie... excuse me... the Homeland Security boys... could easily keep track of them. With compassion always....

If so, we should get a huge amount of hits on Google News on a phrase from the article, but no results for "to help more closely monitor and assist": http://news.google.com/news?svnum=10&as_scoring=d&hl=en&edition=us&q=%22to+help+more+closely+monitor+and+assist%22&btnG=Search+News Mike _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
