Former Bush cabinet officer gets RFID implant
By Tim Finin on Wednesday, July 20th, 2005 at 1:46 pm.President Bush’s first Health and Human Services Secretary, Tommy Thompson, former Governor of Wisconsin, is getting an RFID implant. Thompson has joined the board of Applied Digital, which owns VeriChip, the company that specializes in subcutaneous RFID tags for humans and pets. Thompson will get chiped to help promote the concepts behind the technology. If all of Applied Digital’s board members are required to get chipped it should make taking attendance at future board meetings much easier. (Link, spotted on Boing Boing)

Those people who what an implantable RFID chip, will find out the consequences of what happens when you put a foriegn object in your body. God , never designed computerized babies. Because of mans’ greediness and selfish gains, over technology, God Himself will bring destruction to those who are trying to harm his children. As a veteran who served this country, and who understands the purpose and importance of life, I would have to say to companies like Verichip, Digital Angel, or any other RFID company silence yourself with your own cancer chips, or God Himself will bring his “Wrath.” Raamses, who tried to make Hebrew slaves, brought about his own destruction, and the same goes for you fraudulent RFID companies.
