"The expansion of
the application from an animal to a person
was relatively simple to patent-legally.
This transition is supported by
evolutionist- biology,
where a human being is classified as a higher mammal,
and thus the problem is solved.
Don Small, vice-president of Hughes Identification Devices
stated,
" Let's define an animal as a mammal, and
that settles it."

(Are people in the
same category as animals and assets ?) I think not.
Branding by any other name is still
chattel-branding.
"chattel"
= A person considered as an object or thing ( such as a number in
a System)
rather than as a person.
Used for another's purpose; expendable; exploitable; a slave.

Identity
theft .... creating a fear
for supposedly 'needing' subdermal chips-- Sept. 4, 2003
New Social Security Cards -- May 30, 2005
Ed : And will it have
contactless rfid ??
Or will that be unnecessary because of the required chip
in the right hand or forehead ??
"The front of the new card would have the holder's
photo and Social Security number.
A machine-readable magnetic stripe on the card's back, like those
found on credit cards, would contain a digitized photo and the
person's employment eligibility. The card could be swiped through
a reader by an employer with its information compared with an
employment eligibility database to be maintained by the Homeland
Security Department."
Another fear, Rotenberg said, concerns Homeland Security becoming
"this mega government agency that decides who gets a
drivers' license, who gets a job, who gets on an airplane."
This is the beginning of a much larger surveillance network that
the government plans to put together, ostensibly for immigration
purposes," warned Timothy Edgar, an American Civil Liberties
Union general counsel.

Counterfeiting out of control; G8 must find a solution --- May
13, 2005
It is time for all sectors to unite,
to pool resources and knowledge, and to work
under one umbrella with governments and
enforcement agencies. In recent months, more than
600 companies and
organizations from all parts of the
world, including
1. Interpol,
2. the World Customs Organization
3. and the World Intellectual Property Organization,
have joined together in Business Action to
Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy,
a new initiative of the
International Chamber of Commerce
This initiative is coordinating and organizing
industry efforts, identifying common messages,
creating a central location for knowledge, data and
other intelligence, developing information materials
and ensuring that lessons learned, good practices and various
achievements are shared throughout the business community
The last two Group of 8 summit meetings have
recognized the growing need for strong measures to fight piracy
and counterfeiting. However, we in the business community have
seen little evidence of concrete action. We urge the leaders
meeting at the Gleneagles summit in July
not only to reiterate the importance of respect for international
obligations in the intellectual property field, but also to
commit their governments to enforce existing laws against such
activity with a new and strong determination.
Business stands ready to assist and support
governments to the maximum in the design and execution of
vigorous programs to that end

External Chip and PIN fraud --- March 8, 2005

VeriSign Payment Services --
Feb. 3, 2005 ( vs. phishing..stealing identities)
Another approach to online fraud that some processors
take is to filter all transactions. VeriSign Payment Services, for
instance, creates a filter based on a range of information,
including such aspects as number of transactions that a card has
conducted recently, the number of items in a transaction, the
type of item and the dollar amount. It then incorporates
information from outside databases such as address verification
and other information about the cardholder.
The combination of internal data that VeriSign has developed
and external data that others have developed is a powerful
weapon, says Trevor Healy, vice president of VeriSign Payment
Services, which processes for 125,000 merchants and expects to
handle $40 billion in online payments this year. "Your fraud
screening is only as good as the fraud that you experience,"
Healy says. "Our approach harnesses the collective power of
the network. Customers get the benefit of operating with the
largest payment processor on the Internet. Fraudsters are teaming
up to do things together, so we are in essence creating a
community effort also

A
CASHLESS SOCIETY
Cashless
Society gaining -- May 19, 2007
The chip, made by the VeriChip Corporation, is only the
size of a grain of rice but can transmit an ID number to a
scanner allowing money to be taken from clubbers' bank accounts.
Mr Chase may be an extreme example but he demonstrates a wider
point: Britons are rapidly embracing the cashless society. The
Association for Payment Clearing Services, the UK industry body,
forecasts that in less than a decade fewer than half of all
payments will be made by cash.

Workers get paycards instead of paychecks -- Aug 7, 2005
Now, Payton has gone paperless, becoming one of 1.8
million workers across the country whose paychecks have been
replaced by electronic payroll cards.
The cards, which go by names such as the eCash card, are similar
to debit cards. Workers can use them to buy groceries, gasoline,
assorted retail items and to withdraw cash from ATMs. But instead
of drawing money from their personal bank accounts, they're
getting their pay from a central fund set up by their employers.
Many employers like the cards because they do away with the cost
of printing payroll checks. They also provide an alternative to
check cashing and high fees for workers in the 13 million U.S.
households without bank accounts

"RFID Contactless Payments" by ABI Research
What about the US Mint ??-- Feb. 22,, 2005
The U.S. Mint and other government-run money factories
around the developed world won't be going out of business any
time soon. But their product -- cash -- is facing a compelling
new threat. It comes in the form of "contactless
payment" systems that require a user only to wave a
small object [ Editor:
like an embedded mark in the right hand ?] -
credit card, key ring, cell phone or
similar -- near a reader terminal. Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies, backed by banking
and transaction processing systems, take care of the rest.

The Death Of Cash And Checks? by Luis A. Ramos

Technology will continue
to propel the evolution of cards, making new forms of
payment possible and perhaps driving the nail in the
coffin of Cash And Checks.

A Leading Card Brand And Two Banks
Are Already Pursuing Potential Applications For The Verichip As A
Payment Device.

Instant debit : No float time for checks-- Sept. 2004
By authorizing substitute checks, Check
21 makes it easier for banks to use electronic
imaging for check payments - part of a goal set by
Congress in 1987 with the Expedited Funds Availability
Act. The act directed the Federal Reserve System to
support a payment system that removes the original paper check
from the process
This reproduction is called a substitute
check and is produced from a digital image of
the original check.
Employers say they like it because they don't have to worry about
the check clearing through the bank, and they don't have to
wait for the bank to reconcile accounts, he said.
Consumers Union, a nonprofit testing and
information group, expects the new law will mean more
bounced checks, citing industry estimates that show consumers
could be bouncing almost 7 million more checks and paying an
additional $170 million in fees each month by mid-2005.

Going Cashless -- April 26, 2004
DES MOINES, IOWA -- If that promised day of the cashless
society doesn't arrive tomorrow, it won't be for a lack of effort
by the folks at Paybytouch. This San Francisco company
has devised an electronic payment system that allows consumers to
plug credit-card, debit-card, and checking account data into a
central computer. Then they shop. When they scoot
through the checkout of a participating merchant, they
press their finger to an optical scanner that
identifies them. There's no plastic card, no paper to sign. All
they do is choose how to pay for those goods.
And note this: If the merchandise is put on a credit card, for
instance, the consumer can pay it off by transferring
money from a bank account that very well could have
gotten all its value from an automatic payroll deposit. Nowhere
in this chain of transactions has a greenback entered the picture
- or a check.
