Proposal to Test and Produce Manuals on Immigrants
Good idea!
    Scott Silverman, Chairman of the Board of VeriChip Corporation, has proposed implanting the company's RFID tracking tags in immigrant and guest workers. He made the statement on national television on May 16.

    Silverman was being interviewed on "Fox & Friends." Responding to the Bush administration's call to know "who is in our country and why they are here," he proposed using VeriChip RFID implants to register workers at the border, and then verify their identities in the workplace. He added, "We have talked to many people in Washington about using it...."     [Emphasis added.]
So pardon me if I don't immediately begin my natural libertarian hyperventilation based on this non-story. You've got the evangelist for a company saying that its product is the solution for whatever problem you have. That's what evangelists do, often preposterously.

I, on the other hand, as head of Jeracor, LLC., think what we really need to do, with copious buckets of federal money with little accountability attached, is Rapid Interface Testing and Documentation on immigrants.

Don't know what it means? Well, first we'll need a federal grant to explore that.

Thank you. And don't forget me, Senators Bond and Talent. I'm in your state!
