Utah chip may track pets, kids

My, my. How brave this new world is going to be!

Nope..lock up the criminals, put chips on the perverts, and get rid of illegals.

This would be great to attach to valuables, like mp3 players, that if stolen, the police would be better enabled to catch the thieves.

I've been wishing I could get something like this to put on my kids. Seriously. It freaks me out to no end to think about one of my two daughters turning up missing one day.

i suggested this back when now it's about $$$$$$$$$$$$$

The end of the world! Chips in kids? Fight it! I agree with "NO Chips"!

to paranoid father, just get your kids one of those cell phones that has a gps in it...some providers do that, and then give you a map where you can pull up and see where it is/has been ....of course if the kid the the phone get separated, that's not going to help a ton

Yeah, the phone is a good idea in terms of being much better than nothing. I know the odds of something like that happening are slim, but when you see something like the Elizabeth Smart or other young girls being abducted, you think real hard about how awful it would be to lose your kids.

I'm 14, I wouldn't mind having this in my wrist or something. It would make me really safe in knowing that an abductor is afraid of being found. There is nothing wrong with this, think of the concept - we are onaly puting some Silicone and a little bit of copper in someone's body (or backpack, but thats a dumb idea seeing that if a kid is lost or stolen, you just have to lose the backpack and it's over). The phone idea doesn't work because: The phone will get smashed; The phone will get lost; in a city, the GPS waves will get deflected; or the battery will run down. Why on Earth would this mean the end of the world, it's a great new discovery. I'm a Minor, and I'm for this chip!
