CARSON CITY — State Sen. Becky Harris said a bill to prohibit forced microchipping of people is not as far-fetched as it might seem because it happens in some places around the world.
Senate Bill 109 would make it a Class C felony to require someone to be implanted with a radio frequency identifier, such as microchips placed in pets.
The idea for the bill came from a constituent, the Las Vegas Republican said.
“As I began to look into the issue I was surprised with the merit that I believe the issue warrants,” Harris told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday.
She said sales of radio frequency identifiers are escalating around the world, and a company in Australia as of June 2016 sold more than 10,000 implantable chips with do-it-yourself kits.
“Each kit costs about $100 and includes a tag and an injection tool,” Harris said.
The Wall Street Journal has reported an estimated 30,000 to 50,000 chips have been sold globally, she said.
Harris said the technology is used by companies in Belgium and Sweden to identify employees.
“It’s done under the idea to unlock doors or use copy machines or maybe pay for lunch, you could use your hand,” she said. MORE
no thanks don’t need anyone to locate me I know just where I am at all times….
Oh it would most definitely have to be forced.
Aren’t these microchips removable?
I’ve got to admit this is close enough to all that Mark of the Beast stuff to make me pretty nervous.
I wonder when North Korea is going to start microchipping its citizens.
And you’re website just asked me if I’m human. No sleep tonight …
How unfortunate. It would be useful to keep track of Obama and his seditionist acolytes.
PROHIBIT PERMANENTLY it for US Citizens.
REQUIRE it for caught illegal aliens.
That’s where Europe is heading with a “Cashless” society.
Just run your hand over the reader and walk out the door with your purchase.
Nobody got their nose out of joint when dubya signed into law that every baby born in a hospital will have its DNA filed in a federal system. The DNA of suspected criminals can and is run against the DNA bank. Baby Daddy. Cousin. Mother. and so on.
Geez, the next thing you know the government is going to be tracking our computers and cell phones. What’s that you say? THEY ALREADY HAVE?!!!
Imma implant some chips and salsa in a minute.
Well, it would be terrible if we couldn’t give
you you’re monthly stipend without one of these
chips, you see.
But you could be made to drive HERE and
wait hours in line to recharge your card sir.
This will ONLY take a minute and you won’t
feel a thing. Honest, think of the hours of
driving and lines it would save.
Rev. 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Used by human traffickers as a brand – I could see some merit with high-recidivist parolees, though.
