What begins arouund traffic lights can eventually end up in your automobile as well as in your suitcase and also in your home.
The purpose of this thread is an awareness thread only just as is probably the purpose of the CNN TV news item.
The Bible speaks about the same type of awareness re being aware of the signs of the times, nothing more and nothing less.
If nothing further comes of this, then no sweat, however, if something further does come of this, then forewarned is forearmed.

David do you really think that in the end time, us as SDA's, are going to have our privacy preserved as we have it now? I am not talking about using RFID...we do not know how it will come about..but do you really believe you will be able to have your priacy in the end? I believe just plain old common sence tells us that all will be known about us.
As far as making a time of trouble..well I am sorry you think that. Talking about a technology that could be used in the end has nothing to do with time of trouble...well not for me anyway. My faith is built on a Soldid Rock and that Rock is Jesus. Amen!! I know I am not worried about any of this or anything else that will come about to take away our privacy. We only really have to worry don't we if our lives are not protected by God. We need not be afraid or make a time of trouble when we see these things happening. We need to rejoice that the time is near for our Lord to come and take us home. Amen!

Amen Daryl...I ran across this link about RFID, have you read it?
RFID tags: Big Brother in small packages
quote: But what about a more powerful RFID reader, created by criminals or police who don't mind violating FCC regulations? Eric Blossom, a veteran radio engineer, said it would not be difficult to build a beefier transmitter and a more sensitive receiver that would make the range far greater. "I don't see any problem building a sensitive receiver," Blossom said. "It's well-known technology, particularly if it's a specialty item where you're willing to spend five times as much."
We need not be afraid but we also do not need to be like this man below.

Thanks Avalee and Daryl After all this "convincing evidence," I will be sure to run right out and tell everyone on the block. Some of us are not anywhere near burying our heads in the sand. But we are asking for something that has not yet been brought forth here. And by the way - you don't need to wait for RFID to do all this dirty work you are "warning" us about. As I progress in my studies re computers; it is easy to see by several means, how none of us has any privacy left even now. For eg., just from the last post you made; I can see you made the cartoon .gif image with Roxio PhotoSuite 4 software on your home computer, and you would be absolutely shocked if you knew how much one could glean about you just from that one post. We are getting too much like some Sunday keeping Christians, all worried about credit cards, electronic chip implants, and the like. There is nothing wrong with trying to get RFID put in it's proper perspective...And additionally, no where does the SOP make our privacy an issue in the time of the end. Please provide us with evidence instead of cartoons...then we might believe you a little more.

I know Avalee; I figured that out re your graphic after I said it; but I didn't have time to go back & fix it...Oh well. The fact remains tho, there is a lot even a computer "nerd" like me can find out about people, just from one post here, or an email. But really! I do not hide my head in the sand! If you don't believe me, Look Here!If anyone wants to see what that David T Battler guy looks like, this is your big chance! You are right about one thing Avalee: JESUS IS ALIVE!

Hey David thanks for sharing your picture with us...that is a great picture.
I have always admired your computer work and the graphics you have used here on the internet. I think I asked you before if you made them or if they were available online somewhere.
Yes Jesus is ALIVE and taking care of us all...AMEN

Thankyou Avalee Yes! I make everything myself now! I have been slowly buying software that helps me to do this, but it is a bit expensive. To be honest, I would rather be out climbing trees instead of sitting in front of the computer! By the way, I now have the perfect excuse to stop shaving! I see some news reports that RFID devices will soon be commonly used in men's razors/shaving products!!
