Again..the point? In tracking cards? Because you do understand the cards themselves are all that is really being tracked right?

Funny thing is... every job I have ever had, had an ID card with a tracking device in it (normally RFID). Odds are most of the people reading this thread are at minimum RFID tracked by their employer right now.

Maybe he figures that at least they could get the cards back when the kid ditched them.

Mt debit card had an RFID until I ripped it out. I assume where ever I go with the card I too am tracked.
My employer does not issue ID cards and if they did and it had an RFID I would rip that out as well. I refused to finger print my kids and immunize them.

Oh, wonderful an anti-vaccer. It's all a government conspiracy to you, I guess.

The fact that it would even be considered or done at all shows we're already in a police state.

Vaccines are not what they used to be 50 years ago. More and more educated and well respected people such as Dr. Rauni Kilde of Finland are saying this. Time to start listening before you throw out the "tin foil hat" epithets:

Someone who writes about UFOs, mind-control, alien abductions, paranormal phenomena and conspiracy theories? Really?

Btw, her contention that swine flu is mild is a crock. My 7 year old neighbor almost died and still has some paralysis from the H1N1 virus (some of that was due to the effects of heart failure because of the illness).

Rauni Kilde was a provincial medical officer in Lapland from 1975 until a car accident in 1986. Since that accident Kilde has gone off on several paranoid riffs involving claims of UFO contacts and mind control. She also refers to herself as "formerly the Chief Medical Officer for Lapland."

You will notice in the interview she repeatedly uses the phrase "in my mind," which is about the only place most of the things she claims are actually happening. Pay close attention to this video. If you ignore the content of her speech, she seems quite sane and the kind of woman you'd let your grandchildren have tea with. It's rather frightening, I think.

Tracking devices on school ID's is a creepy idea. What purpose would they serve? I think it's a horrible idea.

Sure. Let's inculcate them to the steady erosions of their freedom the minute they walk into the school.
