Regarding this AF joke:

Politech has the scoop on the Bush administration's plans to forcibly implant RFID tags into homeless people in participating U.S. cities.

Comments:

So now we can use geocaching to find homeless people? Awesome!

Great... imagine the logs:

"Found cache easily. Coordinates a bit off, though. Took empty whiskey bottle, left Play-Doh."

"Took me a while to find this one, the GPS was all over the place. Cache is in bad shape and smells of liquor. TNLN, thanks for bringing us to this beautiful neighborhood!"

"Found the cache after some bushwhacking. Our kids enjoyed the chat with the cache owner. Took nothing, left some Ramen noodle soup."

Wouldn't want to insert the cache tube in one though...

We found no fewer than 3 homeless people while doing GetSmart!

A homeless person has their gear set up near Tennis and Trees in Canberra.

Doesn't that class as a home

True! Do think their home would have increased in value, unlike others in the ACT during the past five years. Mind you it has the same EER (Energy Rating) as some ex-govies.

Back to the topic, they can't be serious about chipping homeless people can they? It's bad enough that I'll be fingerprinted and photographed when I travel to Hawaii later in the year,

Apparently Koalas have fingerprints that are almost indistinguishable from humans....perhaps you could give them a Koala print instead

Read the first line of the original post again.

But if it is a joke, it means someone is thinking about it.
