RFID Implanted Chips In Pets and People: The Risk To Privacy

RFID - micro chipHave you considered having your pet implanted with an RFID chip? If you listen to the marketing hype of SAFRAN Morpho, and other manufacturers, there is nothing but benefits through implanting an RFID chip into pets and people.

The typical ‘benefit’ exampled by vendors is where your pet becomes lost and is subsequently identified and returned via a chain of events; animal control happens to find your pet, they happen to have a working RFID scanner, and they happen to even care enough to scan the animals they bring-in before they are euthanized. Today, most animal ‘shelters’ are so under-funded they are little more than holding facilities that stockpile animals until the animals are euthanized. And with that being a sad priority in many locations, how much time and money do people really think they are putting into RFID scanning gear, not to mention the time to scan each animal? I fear the answers are not ideal.

On the human side of the equation: The proponents of Obama Care initially were caught trying to sneak an RFID provision into the first draft of that illegal law (they basically admit as much here), and we are now told by the same people that the current version of that sham no longer contains the language related to the use and requirement of a ‘type II device’, which includes RFID chips. This double-talk explanation is consistent with the deceptions that surrounded the entire Affordable Care Act (aka: Obama-Care); they deceptively use the term ‘rumor’, yet the RFID chip provision was in the first draft, even according to their own website!:

The RFID implant rumor came from an old version of the Affordable Care Act,  America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 HR 3200. HR 3200 included a section that allowed for data to be collected from all class II devices (which includes RFID chips) for purposes of post-market safety and outcomes data. The final law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act HR 3590 (ObamaCare), removed this wording and does not include any wording pertaining to data collection from class II devices or any rules regarding their implantation.”

So as we read, it was no ‘rumor’, and even the use of that word in their so-called explanation is evidence that these people just cannot tell the truth or be trusted in the least!

The technology that is integral to the existing production model RFID chips, which are about the size of a grain of rice, is scary. These tiny RFID chips can be tracked by satellites today!

So what are they up to now? Simple; they are instead busily collecting our data for later use with RFID chips (in pets and people) via numerous databases. In the case of RFID chips implanted in pets, data related to the owner of the pet is required in order to ‘reunite the pet’ with its owner when it is located; at least that’s the bait on the hook. I say a simple dog-tag is fine; it has my phone number. In regard to potential human RFID implants, the data will include the IRS’s integration of your medical and tax records for later use in an RFID chip implant that will be marshalled upon Americans when their will-power to resist such Orwellian measures are at their lowest. One such scenario might be when Americans are so bad-off financially (or post-disaster) they will have to accept an implant to get a hand-out, which might include water, food or medical aid!

But for the sake of argument, let’s say that the proponents of the RFID implants in pets and in humans were the most honest and trustworthy saints on the planet; what are the real risks of having your personal information associated to any RFID, including one in your pet?

Well, for one thing, it’s a safe assumption that most people spend a great deal of time in the vicinity of their pet(s). And therefore, an RFID chip implanted in a pet, allows remote proximity tracking (from satellite and locally) and identification of the owner of the pet! It’s common knowledge that when the military admits they have any particular technology or ability, it’s already old news, and they well-on to even more advanced technology, as is the case with satellite RFID tracking.

The pet-tracking companies will of course tell clients that the owner’s data related to the RFID chip implanted in a pet is kept secure. I say, really?

Let’s face facts here… both SONY and Chase Bank have been hacked and the data of millions of people was stolen. And these companies have the best security around, better than Lawrence Livermore Labs (also hacked). And we also have some companies who say one thing, and then do another; like selling your data to others, which is yet another way private client data gets spread-around.

In the case of a human RFID implant related to Obama Care; it’s merely a matter of time until the IRS is also hacked, and this time, thanks to Obama-Care, they may also be getting ALL of an individual’s information… including full medical records and history, along with all of their tax information! Clearly, the issues related to privacy are many. This is a situation that seems to have far more ‘bad’ than ‘good’ to offer people and pets!

Being prepared today, means being ready for tomorrow!
