Big Brother Alert

First let me suggest you often visit George Monbiot's site. This guy is very good.

Anyway his topic this day is Big Brother.

It received just a few column inches in a couple of papers, but the story I read last week looks to me like a glimpse of the future. A company in Ohio called CityWatcher has implanted radio transmitters into the arms of two of its workers. The implants ensure that only they can enter the strongroom. Apparently it is “the first known case in which US workers have been tagged electronically as a way of identifying them”(1).

He then goes on to explain how this might scare us or merely worry us now, it won't be long until it will be "voluntary" and seem perfectly normal to us.
