Snakelady; Seems to me I read that chips can be so tiny that they can be given along with an injection or vaccine. I don't plan on getting shots of any kind. |

New Nukes At US Border
By Ryan Singel
Wired News
8-27-4
The border patrol has decided to go nuclear against those who want to sneak barrels of mustard gas, bales of marijuana or bundles of bucks into the country.
Starting early next week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, agents will start testing a nuclear scanning device, called a Pulsed Fast Neutron Analysis system (PDF), that will show a border agent the molecular construction of all materials in an 18-wheeler without the agent having to open the truck.
The $10 million system, which CBP installed in an old cotton field next to the Ysleta border crossing near El Paso, Texas, shoots pulsed neutrons through a cargo container's walls. Items in the trailer react to the mini-bombardment by emitting gamma rays. The machine then reads the gamma ray signature to create a three-dimensional rendering of the inside of the container.
The CBP's traditional X-ray machines create a two-dimensional, gray-scale picture that shows the comparative density and shape of items. A border-protection agent then has to interpret the murky X-ray, just as a doctor does with a human X-ray.
But the new device's manufacturer, Ancore of Santa Clara, California, says its Pulsed Fast Neutron Analysis, or PFNA, machine not only creates a 3-D view -- it actually labels the parts. Thus the system can be configured to tell CBP officers that there are 100 kilos of cocaine hidden in a boxful of cheap DVDs or whether a barrel labeled "bleach" actually contains radioactive material.
Doug Brown, a nuclear physicist who now works as Ancore's vice president of business development, calls the technology a "quantum leap," comparing its advantages to those of MRIs.
"If you have a brain lesion, you can X-ray the hell out of your head and you will see the sockets for your eyeballs, your jawbone and your teeth, but you get no clue whether you have a lesion in your soft tissue," Brown said. "An MRI, on the other hand, is able to locate that lesion in three dimensions, based on a signature that is different in the lesion than in the healthy tissue. Our technology works exactly the same way.
"A lot of threats are packed in barrels. An X-ray of a barrel would simply show a full barrel but wouldn't tell you it was full of water, oil or explosives," Brown said. "PFNA can determine what is in barrels."
The technology is not new; it was developed in the late 1990s with federal funding from both anti-drug and antiterrorism efforts.
The technology was never put in place, however, since it was considered too expensive for drug-detection deployment.
But times have changed, according to Brown. "For the post-9/11 world, it's a rhetorical question: How safe do you want to be?" Brown said.
Ancore's champion in Congress is Rep. Silvestre Reyes (D-Texas), a former Border Patrol inspector chief who has been pushing for the new technology since 1998.
Now, the congressman is "thrilled" that the Transportation Security Administration, the Pentagon and the CBP have agreed to sponsor the 90-day test. The TSA will soon be using the technology to screen cargo that goes into the bellies of commercial airplanes.
"This could be the most powerful technology in our war on terrorism," said Reye's spokeswoman, Kira Maas. "It really is incredible."
Despite the availability of new funds for the technology, Brown emphasizes that his company is working hard with its parent company, OSI Systems, to make sure that production costs will be much lower than the price tag attached to its prototype.
Given the current budget deficit and that the border with Mexico has 42 crossing stations, placing one machine at every land crossing in the country -- let alone at all the country's seaports and air terminals -- would be a significant burden on the Department of Homeland Security's $36 billion budget.
Besides the unit's $10 million price tag, the only other catch is that, well, the system is nuclear.
To keep workers and neighbors safe, drones will pull trucks into the shed, some employees will have to have radiation badges, and the locals will have to be protected from radiation gases.
Leading up to the system's deployment, the government had scientists measure whether neutron-scanned tortilla chips will be too hot for folks to dip into salsa.
They also had to figure out if the nuclear scanner would accidentally detonate a nuclear bomb (it won't, but it will detect it and might accidentally disable it).
The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements looked closely (PDF) at the system and recommended several measures to help reduce the risk to employees or neighbors, but did not find the system to be an unacceptable risk.
Even if every border-crossing station had the neutron scanner, the sheer amount of commercial traffic crossing the border would prohibit border agents from inspecting every truck.
Between 26,000 and 30,000 trucks cross the border monthly at the Ysleta facility, according to CBP spokesman Roger Maier, and agents will still have to rely on their intuition and training to decide which trucks will get the neutron treatment.
Still, if the scanner actually is able to accurately detail the full contents of a truck in about 10 minutes, it could free agents from the meticulous task of searching the most suspicious trucks by hand, a process that takes about two hours.

Okay, I'm on cold medicine so my thinking might be a bit skew...Then again my thinking is usually outside the box anyway. I'm going to play devil's advocate.
One way to have the public accept an implant chip is make security so unbearable that those with a chip can pass right on through entrances/tolls etc. without question. Those who do not have a chip are the ones who will be relentlessly stopped numerous times a day and questioned. Everyone will want a chip. Let's say we have another horrible tragedy occur (before election of course) can you imagine the propaganda on TV..."How did this happen? How did security let this slip by? There must be a better way to detect the "evil terrorist". How about detectors that alarm only when NO "chip" is detected? The implants would hold information, of course, about each of us to classify us. For example, civilian, ex-military, children, ex-convict, natural citizen etc.
Americans would be proud of their new American implants made with silver and gold...21st Century Bling Bling

Bush's "Mental Tests" that are being proposed are the first step towards implantable microchips. You have to have a reason to do something like that, and saying tracking people may not go over well. But if a "Terrorist" attack occurs, then who knows. Screw them! No mental tests, no chips, no pissing in bottles, no mandatory prayer, no F**KING worshiping these Neo-Con/Nazionists!
Now don't get me wrong, if a child or animal was lost, and they had a tracker chip in them, that might be the only positive function of it. The problem is our society is not to be trusted with such technology. If we as a species evolved enough to where people weren't raping and pillaging on a regular basis, then maybe it would work. Until then...Leave alone! |

If people werent raping and pillaging all the time there wouldnt be any need for it.Not that there is a need now,I mean it would be nice to be able to track exactly where a loved one is.But there is no way the government could be trusted with such technology.

CD,
You're correct in that if the technology was just used by individuals for positive purposes, then possibly.
Governments are simply not to be trusted anymore, and I doubt they ever will again.
I remember going to Virtual Reality Demos in the 80's and early 90's. There was the promise of using it for Intelligence Increase. There were non-violent games and exercises, and some really funny, especially this one where Einstein's Head kept popping into this long corridor, and eventually you flew out the other end, and you were flying over a landscape. But the government took it over, and people use it for war simulations now, and not for fun and enlightenment.
The Libertarian idea may yet come to pass!!  |
