big brother

For the first time in a long time I've run into non-election based news that is SO appalling it required me to make an entry here.

F.D.A. Approves Implantable Chip for Patient's Health Data
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 4:50 PM ET
The Food and Drug Administration approved an implantable computer chip that can pass a patient's medical details to doctors.

I'm just thinkin', you know, off the top of my head, that along with electronic balloting, this has to be ONE OF THE WORST FREAKIN' IDEAS IN HISTORY!! I don't care how "idiot proof" or "secure" you make it, the world will create a better idiot/hacker. I don't know why this is not obvious!!!

argh.
