RFID implant enforcement

[Friday]

"...in late 2005, an Ohio man spent three days in jail because he didn't put identification tags on his family's pet turtles and snakes. Terry Wilkins broke a state law requiring owners of native reptiles to tag them with a PIT (personal-integrated transponder). The tags, which are the size of a grain of rice and can be inserted under the animal's skin, contain a bar code readable by a scanner. Wilkins refused to tag the animals because he said PIT tags cause health problems in small reptiles. "

Yes, I think I'll have the chipped turtle on toast.

Ohio sucks anyway. Aren't they the state that passed their own "Patriot" act, that forced anyone to show ID to a cop, on demand, on pain of arrest?

NH is the only state I feel safe existing in anymore  (and parts of Vermont)
