Would the growing trend towards totalitarianship of our socities be an

An associate of mine told me that he just went to the pound to adopt a
cat. It was REQUIRED that the cat be injected with a "tracking" chip
(RFID, not GPS).

Well,that is not truly a "tracking" chip,it's more of an identity card,and
must be scanned at short range.It can't be used to locate a lost
pet(DF),just to identify an unknown pet.Because collars with ID tags can be
removed or otherwise lost.

Except in the movie, "Firewall" ;-)
