Lawmaker dips into microchip fears

MADISON — State Rep. Marlin Schneider doesn't want government getting under your skin.

The Wisconsin Rapids Democrat is introducing a bill that would prohibit anyone, including the government and employers, from requiring microchip implants in people.

Sound far-fetched, like something from a sci-fi flick? It might be. But Schneider, who's known as a privacy advocate, isn't waiting until the first case to be reported. Technology once reserved for tracking records on pets and livestock is migrating to the human race in medical, security and identity verification applications.

So far, only willing participants are known to have had the rice grain-sized devices implanted just below their skin. But Schneider said it's just a matter of time before someone takes the technology too far.

"Eventually, people will find reasons why everyone should have these chips implanted," Schneider said.

I like Rep. Schneider. He was always one to use the pukes' tactics against them. It appears he's trying a little fearmongering of his own.

I personally think this is a good idea but I'm taking bets it won't get past the god, guns, gays and TABOR shield.

as protection against kidnapping. I don't see what that would accomplish, but the idea is out there. Rep. Schneider is onto something.

Marlin has a tendency to get right down to the real nitty-gritty....

I'll support him on this one...
