RFID chips are pretty fragile. Shirt off, hammer blow, shirt on. End of problem.

You've got to find it first, though.

Solution: Microwave the shirt.

I don't see anything wrong with this.  Teenagers are as trustworthy as...  well... teenagers.

So to avoid it all they have to do is take their shirts off? See where's this is going? :D

Have you seen the average public school teenager in the UK?

I have.

I'd rather not see that sort of thing, Sarafan ;)

Sometimes I wish I had a  :beamz:

As long as it doesn't come to Aus.!! ;)   Though I think this is a ridiculous idea for any person to have a chip on them. Hopefully we don't get turned into zombies because of restriction policies like this. It will also increase the level of people trying to get around "the law" because, who wants to be tracked everywhere they go?
The next step will probably be a chip in the body somewhere... :shaking:  This will not do.
You've got to find it first, though.

Solution: Microwave the shirt.

 :) or roll it! Iron it. Perhaps magnetise the thing or wet the shirt, and electrocute it. Imagine that, electrocuting a shirt :wtf:

 :eek: I actually have the longest post in a topic for once!   *waits for the big lecture to be posted*

Okay, I'm not a religious person by no means but I've kinda always enjoyed some of the goriest stories and the most mushroom-enhanced visions in the holiest of books, including those of dear John the Apocalyptic... so ironic that his deliriums apparently weren't so far-fetched after all. :rolleyes:

Quote from: Rev. 13:16-17
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.


But anyway, as long as it's only for classes down from Beta, it's all right, I've got no opposing argument. Alphas, and possibly Betas, shouldn't need to be marked to this extent, but you just can't be sure about those pesky Gammas, Deltas and - Ford forbid - Epsilons. ...Not.

Urgh, curse Year 12 english-class for allowing me to get this reference! :mad:

But regardless, nice callback.

Im going to tag my kid when he gets older.  There is no way I would trust a teenager - 23 year old.  I remember when I was that age.
