Mexican Officials Get Chipped

Mexican Officials Get Chipped 07/14/2004 05:20 AM
The attorney general of Mexico and several of his staff implant microchips in their arms. The chips provide access to a crime database and track their bearers if they are kidnapped -- assuming their abductors don't slice out the chips.

The government of Mexico is RFID-tagging police in order to combat record high levels of kidnapping and disappearances. About 170 officers are said to have been subcutaneously tagged in their arms with microchips about the size of a rice grain of rice. The chip grants them access to a crime database and becomes a tracking tool in case they're kidnapped.

The first-of-its-kind step shows the lengths to which the Mexican government will go to try to bring safety to the streets. Crime - and how to fight it - has long been a challenge here. Kidnapping is spreading, reaching beyond traditional wealthy targets to the middle class. And in a country where only a quarter of all crimes are reported because of fear that bribed cops will expose informants, securing access to sensitive documents has become a priority.

The chip comes from VeriChip, a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions of Palm Beach, Fla. The device is nonremovable (though it can be deactivated) and is slipped under the skin in seconds via a syringe-like device. The chip costs $200, plus $50 a year, in addition to the scanner and software. The technology has existed for years and was originally developed to let pet owners identify stray animals.

The chip sits dormant under the skin and is only "awakened" by a scanner using radio- frequency identification, or RFID. The scanner emits a signal that powers the chip, allowing it to send its identification number. Then, depending on the configuration of the database that is hooked up to the scanner, a door is opened or a database unlocked, the way an ID card allows employees into the office.

Why RFID-chipped US passports are a bad
idea

Why RFID-chipped US passports are a bad
idea 03/28/2005 07:32 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Bill Scannell says:

In a misguided attempt to make US passports more secure, the US Department of State plans to put radio frequency identification (RFID) chips in all new passports.  This RFID chip will contain the same information currently on our passports, including the passport holder's name, date and place of birth, passport number and photograph.

From identity theft to identity death, an RFID-chipped US passport means good news for the bad guys.

I don't expect my country to actively protect me when I am abroad, but I do expect it to not put me actively in harm's way. I don't need a beacon that is an advertisement for my potential victimhood, "Look, over here, an American! Need cash? Credit cards? Want to make a splashy political statement for the news? Act now!"

Where's the Beef? 03/06/2004 01:55 AM
Like a real life Crank Yankers on crack, hoodlums across the United States of America are harassing (and embarrassing) fast food joints on several fronts. Is it a national conspiracy? A rash of coincidences? Is your refrigerator running? Four supervisors at Wendy's restaurants in Boston were called by someone who said they were with the police. The Wendy's supervisors were told to strip search the employees and, get this, they did! The employees went along with it as well. I'm not sure what's creepiest about this story.

Fornicate and run marathons to beef
up your brains 06/18/2004 10:59 AM
Fascinating Australian Broadcasting Co science piece on the latest research in neuron production:

we do know a couple of things that stimulate brain cell production. One of them, of course is anti-depressants, which we now know probably the key molecule by which this acts, because we’ve been able to purify these cells that make neurons and we know what are the receptors that bind molecules. And one of these receptors turn out to be a receptor for a neurotrophine, a molecule that keeps nerve cells alive traditionally. But we know that anti-depressants raise the molecule that binds to this receptor and we now know that this is the factor that can stimulate the production of new nerve cells. So we think we’ve made the connection between anti-depressants and production of new nerve cells. But there are many other ways of stimulating the production and some of them are pretty damned interesting. One is if you put an animal on a wheel and let it run ad libitum and they run up to about 10 kilometres overnight, they make about twice as many neurones.

The other thing is that certain molecules produced during sex also appear to be highly stimulatory of neuronal production. Prolactin levels, which pregnant women have enormous amounts of, also stimulate large amounts (of neurons).
