Hey, I could not believe when I found this on line, can you imagine traveling with your kids or your elderly parents and having to do this, and something malfunctiioning?? FEMA If I have the misfortune to be involved in a disaster, I am going to be equally as afraid of them. Read on and see what you think.
Want some torture with your peanuts?Aviation Security (View Blog)POSTED July 01 2008 2:18 PM BY BLACK & DENNING
By P. Jeffrey Black and Jeffrey Denning This bracelet would: • Take the place of an airline boarding pass • Contain personal information about the traveler • Be able to monitor the whereabouts of each passenger and his/her luggage • Shock the wearer on command, completely immobilizing him/her for several minutes Apparently so. The letterhead, in case you were wondering, is from a U.S. Department of Homeland Security office at the William J. Hughes Technical Center at the Atlantic City International Airport, or the Federal Aviation Administration headquarters. Is this a police state or is this America? |

You know this is seriously f'd-up and i do think the US in turning into a more totalitarian society with big brother watching our every move and enforcing draconian measures.
Having said that, I travel ALOT and I HATE the US airport security. I hate having ignorant inner city ghetto kids driving me through security every time like some kind of cattle. If I didnt have to go through that type of security and they could just throw a bracelet on me and that would be it could make things much faster and easier. Of course thatt's not the point, first the airplanes and then in every day life. How about a chip built into you that does the same thing so you cant commit crimes? I'm sure the next steps would be something like that . . . |

The letter linked in this post said they were interested in having detainees wear it. Meaning if they moved a terrorist from, say, gitmo, to Oregon, that the terrorist would wear this while on the plane.
Having the technology available to the gov is scary but no where near as bad as what this at first seemed to be. |

Dude, DR. WHO, Actually wants me to start reading post?! I generally never make it past the 1rst paragraph, hell in this case not even the headline.
Therefor I must change my answer. I think terrorist should wear devices that make their heads explode if they make any irrational movement on a flight. Just BANG! And having to sit through the crap we all collect $1000 in Sky Miles. Whose with me here?! |

These are the quotes from the article.
The Electronic ID Bracelet, as it’s referred to, would be worn by every traveler “until they disembark the flight at their destination.â€
Yes, you read that correctly. Every airline passenger would be tracked by a government-funded GPS, containing personal, private and confidential information, and would shock the customer worse than an electronic dog collar if the passenger got out of line.
I could easily see this as replacing gaurds and the extensive search policy on airlines that everyone complains about. As long as a traveler has this on, the airline personal could put down anyone who caused any trouble.
We hear about people getting angry on airplanes all the time. How long before it would be up to a flight attendent to use their judgement on whose bracelet was activated.
Often what the government says it will do with something, is not what it will end up doing with it. A prime example is the social security number, people were told over and over that the social security number would NEVER be used to identify them when the social security plan was started. It was to be used for the collection , deposit and then distribution of funds. How did that end up?? Who dosent have your SS number now?
If we are to survive we need to think out of the box. The article clearly states that all would wear it. I would never expect the government to tell the population that it was planning on all people wearing this bracelet. there would be massive protest and out cry. But, another thing to think of, not all prisoners end up being found guilty, we have all heard about tasers being used on the innocent, and even guns. So it is very safe to assume that this could be used on innocent people also. Considering that we have real tasers to use right now, and we can get peoples total history on a small chip right now, so that they can be easily identified, with all their personal information available to the authorities with the touch of the finger to the mouse or celll phone. Why would we need this for prisoners? Seems we already have it. |

Hey, Socialists will like this idea and the Democrats are in office so this could happen. If President Obama thinks this is important like the Stimulus Package he will tell us that unless we wear this bracelet the world will fall apart.
Hold on folks the Liberals are in POWER! |

It's very simple, if they do this I'll just quit flying as would most people. Let them try.
