Comments on: More Employers Scanning Workers' Hands

Biometric Technology Replacing Timecards; Employers Tout Efficiency, Unions Cry Foul

[displeased]

Thanks for the info rick. That''s pretty freaky stuff. If technology leads to implanting chips, I don''t think it will be as a result of utilizing electronic timecards with scanning capabilities.

I found the infants section disturbing. If an employer asks me to implant a chip, I''ll quit and work somewhere else. But you don''t have much control as an infant when your parents do it for you.

You know what?! Veri-chip and/or Digital Angel and any other of these human monitoring devices are continuing steps being taken by govt to enslave the populace.
These technologies should serve as ''rallying points'' to ALL members of society, from the left and from the right! For THEY are a common enemy! If it''s not clear yet, hopefully in time it will be---BEFORE it''s too late!!

I never liked this type of thing, maybe from watching too many movies, some bad person chops your hand off and use it to gain access, its only a matter of time before it happens in real life, same is true with eye scans, gives me the creeps! lol

You people are paranoid. A device that logs a workers time is going to lead to tracking chips embedded in foreheads? Lay off the sci-fi dude.

Your handprint at work is just another step up to it. First we had to have our signature to prove who we are. Then we have to have a license to prove who we are. Then we have to have a license for ID anytime a cop wants to check it. Then we have to have a card to do banking or make purchases. Now with that card alone they can track every purchase you made that day.
And it helps the police find you.

At some point we need to exercise our right to privacy and find a better way.

If we needed our militia, and they gathered, they will know who they are, and where they are.

Your government keeps secrets from you all the time, yet you have to be totally visible to them.

Don''t ever fall for that.

[rowdytexan2]

Put a chip in your arm. If you want to have a meeting of some kind to discuss issues, they know exactly where you are, and who''s at the meeting, and very possibly could have listening abilities.

Nope, ain''t gonna work.

The real point of this is to acclimate people to being tracked. This is part of the NWO plan to put a tracking chip into the hand or forehead of EVERY living person. It will be required to buy or sell. If you disagree with the oligarchical dictatorship which is already in place, but largely hidden, your chip will be turned off.
This is not about convenience for employers; It is about FREEDOM for the common man everywhere!

Wake up, you sleeping stones!

IS IT SAFE? OR IS IT RADIATING HARMFUL RAYS ON THE BONES AND THE SKIN OF THE HAND? OVER TIME, COULD IT GIVE YOU CANCER OR DIMINISH YOUR BONES AND JOINTS?

-It seems like a very innocent thing now...but eventually it will be used to control the population.

Just watch.

Worse, since everything seems to find its way in to the hands of those who work on Madison Ave in this country, It will be used to bombard you with non stop custom tailored marketing derived from tracking your day to day activities.

again nothing to hide-----------nothing to worry about if your doing somethin illeagal QUIT

[ivandrago]

That''s the kind that we use at my place of work. The only real problem that I have with it is that it''s very hard to remember if you''ve checked in or out. I know it sounds stupid, but it''s easy to forget when you''re rushing around. The point is the display is too simple.

radiob and singing ric,,,,,,,,SOME OF US REALLY NEED BIG BROTHER TO WATCH US TO KEEP YOU FROM HARMING YOURSELVES.

[oscarez]

Next you will be required to give a DNA sample so they can be sure it''s YOUR hand thats being scanned.

[sentry88]

I have long a propoent of microchipping babies, hell we do it for pets incase they are lost, hmmm let me think would i rather be able to locate my daugthers great dane puppy orrrrrrrrrrrrr one of my 3 grandkids who i love very much..........no brainer rigth?

[papabc]

accfan4eva,,,,,i agree 100 percent . most of the time the ones that complain the most about something are the ones trying to hide something.

The city expects to save $60 million per year by modernizing a complicated record keeping system that now requires one full-time timekeeper for every 100 to 250 employees. The new system, dubbed CityTime, would free up thousands of city employees to do less paper-pushing.

Several years ago Walmart and Nordstrom had to pay millions of dollars to employees that were wrongfully cheated out of overtime. Those records, that used to be saved on paper, can disappear at the touch of a button the next time it happens.

foghamar,,I do already take my trash off anjd yes we do have pickup by what used to be BFI(big frigging idiots, but i am not paying 40 dollars a month for something i can do for around 8 to 10 dollars. and i dont charge a fuel surcharge wither. Unions at one time were great but now when your on strike for 60 to 100 days and get a 25 cent raise in pay ,,it takes a long time to make up thoise 100 days at that rate doesnt it?

[extremophil]

I''ve had my butt scanned a couple of times by our copier. Does that count?
