Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wonder if my brother has to do that.

Coming in from Canada? You know, I'm not sure. Probably not right now. Maybe later.

Gack. Googled. Apparently they will expand it to non-citizen residents, and then there's this opinion presented in a Washingto Post article:

Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, warned that fingerprinting could soon expand to U.S. citizens inside the borders. He cited the Real ID Act, which requires states to set more stringent standards of proof for driver's licenses and include two biometric measures by May 2008. He expects that this fall the Homeland Security Department will propose that those be a photograph and, most likely, fingerprints.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

No, he comes in from Russia mostly. So might ping more alerts than Canada.

What I want to know is, when do we all get the bar code on our foreheads that the whackjob religious right has been predicting for ages?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

RFID implants, baby.

So...it's about that time of year. What are people dressing as for Halloween, if you are exploiting the opportunity? I'm severely blocked.

Check. Do we get to pick our number? Can we choose the color?

No.

Can we choose the color?

It's gotta' be readable by a red laser, so... any color but red.

Or you can get the RFID chip in your neck, just like puppies and kittens get.

Coding and Sleeping

Gives enough lead time for implementation before the end of the world in 2012. There will need to be a new Pope before then too since the next Pope will be the last according to the prophecies of St. Malachy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

For nitpickiness's sake--it's non-US residents

Right, my bad. I blame the jet-lag.

What's the range on those? It might be more practical to get it in your hand.

Alice Cooper in Wonderland?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm thinking of doing this:

Owen, Olivia and me. But I'm still toying with a Batman/Robin combo for the kids, too.
