Two things: First, all the apparatus for all of this is already in place in that, in the name of preventing bio-terrorism, all animals in the U.S. that are not house pets are supposed to be chipped. It is, exactly as you suggest, "voluntary" but in this case voluntary means if you want to be off grid you still can, but otherwise you must play. I am, as perhaps you know, a part time farmer and out of respect for this list's readers I will not give the full explanatory diatribe, but the entire apparatus for this is rapidly coming into place. Lest you think that it could not be applied to people, remember that we are outnumbered by cows and all cows must have it. See http://nonais.org/ Second, the question of the hour is how much safety is safe. This is not an idle question. Fully accepting that this will in all likelihood be taken as insufferable self advertisement, my keynote speech to SOURCE Boston last Thursday touched on this subject, and others.
