“The rights and wrongs of RFID-chipping human beings have been debated since the tracking tags reached the technological mainstream. Now, school authorities in the Japanese city of Osaka have decided the benefits outweigh the disadvantages and will now be chipping children in one primary school.”

Another step taken in the march toward total surveillance over all our precious belongings, in this case our children. According to this article at Silicon.com, one school in Japan has agreed to put RFID chips in the bags and clothing of their students.
Now even kids too young to own a cell phone can be tracked by worried parents and schools fearing costly lawsuits.
As with all tech solutions to social problems, the freaks that steal children will quickly find a way around this latest fix, like, oh I don’t know, throwing the bugged bag out the car window?
Is there any doubt where those chips are going to go next?
