Not reported about in main stream media are the concerns of some Americans regarding the bio identification and RFID cards required of citizens for travel, driving, entering federal buildings and may adjunct or replace passports: One real concern is that it will allow an international database of individuals personal information accessible and shared internationally. Besides disclosing private and personal information, there can be no assurance that data bases cannot be corrupted or charged with false information. Furthermore, it is considered the RFID card will become mandatory for all financial transactions and employment. Some Christian's following news and comparing with Biblical prophecy are concerned that this is part or prerequisite to mark of the beast.

RFID-enabled Tix to Olympics' Opening Ceremonies to Include Passport Data

Published on Thursday, May 29, 2008.

The Chinese Olympic Committee for the 2008 Games has revealed that all tickets to the opening and closing ceremonies will include RFID-enabled microchips with spectators' passport information and home and e-mail addresses, among other sensitive personal info.

This high-level precaution is in response to the increasingly sensitive security issues surrounding the games, due largely in part to the host's controversial positions on human rights and freedom of speech.

All tickets for the ceremonies are valued at $720 and the RFID tagging is supposed to decrease the possibility of scalping and pirated tickets, which is obviously a big problem in copy-happy China. But carrying around all of that information with you is still a dangerous proposition.

We've heard that tickets were supposed to have the bearer's photograph printed on them, which would have cut down on theft and the likely problem a family will face when distributing tickets right before a gate entrance. As you can see in the official ticket above, it appears that the idea has not been implemented.
