GPS Locators for Truant Kids
February 20th, 2007Sure!
Via: ajc.com:
Let’s say your teenager is a habitual truant and there is nothing you can do about it. A Washington area politician thinks he might have the solution: Fit the child with a Global Positioning System chip, then have police track him down.
“It allows them to get caught easier,” said Maryland Delegate Doyle Niemann (D-Prince George’s), who recently co-sponsored legislation in the House that would use electronic surveillance as part of a broader truancy reduction plan. “It’s going to be done unobtrusively. The chips are tiny and can be put into a hospital ID band or a necklace.”

My money’s on the enterprising teenagers who come up with creative ways of “repositioning” their ID bands or necklaces. Visit an intl airport, slip the band onto some goober’s luggage, and then you have this: “Contact INTERPOL – that little shit is heading to Vienna!”
smallest GPS chipset/antenna I’ve found is 25mm*25mm*3.5mm or so…. Might have to disguise it as an eggregious acne pock and hope the benzoyl peroxide doesn’t erode it….
Leave it to our elected delegates, I guess.
Mark my words: Within my lifetime (I’m 27), there will be a day where those citizens who refuse/resist to have an rfid/gps chip implanted onto them will be branded as “criminals”, suspiscious, or potential criminals who have something to run away from.
“One Generation Is All They Needâ€
One day we will all happily be implanted with microchips, and our every move will be monitored. The technology exists; the only barrier is society’s resistance to the loss of privacy.
