now further monitoring ....this time for the elderly
Big Brother is watching, but seniors don't mind

WALLINGFORD - Sensors keep track of just about everything Shirley Player does in her apartment, but she's not worried that Big Brother is watching. Far from it.
"I feel very safe with it," Player said. "It's nice to know you're being watched."
Player is one of 68 residents of the Masonicare retirement community participating in a study that aims to determine whether keeping a technological eye on seniors can help them live longer independently in their own homes.
Player's place has a motion detector in the corner of each room, a sensor on her refrigerator that keeps track of her eating habits, a sensor on the medicine cabinet to see if she's taking her medications on time, and a pressure sensor underneath the mattress of her bed to track her sleeping. There would have been a sensor on the toilet, except that was determined unfeasible for the study during a pilot program this summer.
Player says her greatest worry is remembering to take the sensor on her key chain with her when she leaves her apartment. Otherwise, she said, after about a month she hardly gives the monitoring program a thought. Does she worry about it?
"I never do," she said.
"If it will help somebody else, that's what my goal is," said the 87-year-old Player, who lives at the Masonic Health Care Center independent living complex, in one of the A. Norman Johnson Apartments.

What if the Watchtower Society used this on baptized publishers......very "1984" style! Keeping track of service hours....meeting attendence....who you associate with....movies you watch....wait they do already! 1. 2 3 4 5 6 7 {Loudspeaker} "Number five please report to the re-education room!"

Yes, these are the pilot programs.
Begin with the newborn and the elderly, and allay any fears of implanting chips by not YET doing so.
But once enough numbers of those who participated in these programs have been reached, it will be much easier to convince the sheeple of the safety and effectiveness of phase 2- when the implanted chips are perfected.
Example advertisement/marketing campaign for phase 2:
"Millions of citizens, just like you, have safely participated in this program already, with nothing but positive results! It's fast, free, and a great protection for you with many, many benefits and no downside! Eliminate carrying credit/debit cards, driver's license, proof of citizenship, and so much more! What are you waiting for? Get Chipped today!
Your Worst Nightmare: RFID Powder

The world's smallest and thinnest RFID tags were introduced this year by Hitachi. Tiny miracles of miniaturization, these RFID chips (Radio Frequency IDentification chips) measure just 0.05 x 0.05 millimeters.
The previous record-holder, the Hitachi mu-chip, is just 0.4 x 0.4 millimeters. Take a look at the size of the mu-chip RFID tag on a human fingertip.
Now, compare that with the new RFID tags. The "powder type" tags are some sixty times smaller.
The new RFID chips have a 128-bit ROM for storing a unique 38 digit number, like their predecessor. Hitachi used semiconductor miniaturization technology and electron beams to write data on the chip substrates to achieve the new, smaller size.
Hitachi's mu-chips are already in production; they were used to prevent ticket forgery at last year's Aichi international technology exposition. RFID 'powder,' on the other hand, is so much smaller that it can easily be incorporated into thin paper, like that used in paper currency and gift certificates.
But Kodak has gone one step further and has recently patented digestible tags that are harmless and intentionally fragile.
The tags would be covered with soft gelatin that takes a while to dissolve in the stomach. After swallowing a tag a patient need only sit next to a radio source and receiver. They stop working when exposed to gastric acid for a specific period of time, providing a subtle way to monitor a patient's digestive tract.
Kodak says that similar radio tags could also be embedded in an artificial knee or hip joint in such a way that they disintegrate as the joint does, warning of the need for more surgeryBA- With RFID tags such as those above, those who don't "cooperate" could still unwittingly get "tagged".

Hmm, I wonder what it was that made it unfeasible?

I'd like to go a place where it's more safer/saner.
