<![CDATA[Smart Mobs: RFID badges coming to a school near you:

Brittan Elementary School, the only grade school in a California rural town, is requiring students to wear FRID badges that can track their every move. Teenagers must wear those identification cards around their necks with their picture, name and grade and a wireless transmitter that beams their ID number to a teacher’s handheld computer when s/he passes under an antenna above classroom doors.

This kind of unexamined use of tracking technology is another step toward mindless acceptance totalitarianism. Walk inside the lines. Keep your hands in the windows. March over there. Kill the people of different religions…. Oh, you didn’t carry out your duty. Did we tell you the RFID comes with new, improved electro-shock discipline plug-ins?]]>
