Introducing the RFID Tattoo
The Register's Bill Ray reports that Somark Innovations "has successfully tested an RFID tattoo on cows, mice and rats, enabling an identifying number embedded under the skin to be read from over a meter away."
Unlike expensive RFID chips that are often implanted in pets or stapled to farm animals' ears, Ray says the new system "uses an array of needles to quickly inject a pattern of dots into each animal, with the pattern changing for each injection. This pattern can then be read from over a meter away using a proprietary reader operating at high frequency."
"Somark are in the process of raising money to exploit the technology, and point out that what works for animals can, of course, also work for people, identifying military personnel as one of their secondary markets after cattle and other livestock," Ray writes.
"Co-founder Mark Pydynowski declines to say what is in its ink, except that it doesn't contain metals and is 100% biocompatible and chemically inert," writes TechWeb's K.C. Jones. "That could let ranchers and meat buyers use stamps to verify that select cuts of meat originated in a hormone-free environment, Pydynowski says, adding that consumers would destroy the system by breaking down the ink when chewing the meat."

Ink that breaks down when chewed, microscopic chips under the skin, perhaps in the future a microchip for every kind of action we do. Of course the technology must be controlled, because like everything it can do much harm. RFID is just an example of emerging technology that in a few years will be considered just another normality in our lives.

Oct 07, 07 at 12:51 pmNo, we do not need to be tagged with a barcode. Once this is implanted you have no control over what it can be used to control. Stop heart from beating. muscles frozen to stop movement. On and on the emplacations can go. Just like a computer or any other machine. It is no better, or honest than the person behind it. My question which I never seen an answer for. If these Id chips is not absorbed into the flesh of a beef how can they tell where ground up hamberger came from? If it is disbursted through the anumal to this extent what is to keep it from making the person who consume the meat tractable also. This makes no sense when it is logically thopught thru. the best way out of this mess it to not get into it. Think of all the things pushed on the general public for the health and well being all. Nucular energy, radation, and on it goes. Everyon should have more self esteem than wanting to be tagged and plugged into a statite, putting them at the mewcury of whatever whem the holder of the remote chooses to do. It makes no sense from the angle they are promoting it. Computers are sent viruses. What can we be sent. Thingk about it.
The bible tells us before the end of time you can not tell man from the beast in the field. If we have no names but numbered like the animals what will be the difference.
God bless.

Feb 03, 09 at 6:19 pmIt seems innocent enough however the main driver behind this sort of technology and it’s thinking is pure evil, it is the beginning towards the ‘mark of the beast’ which the bible clearly warns us of!
