The senario is as follows: Every student at the school is chipped. They are all monitored and flagged according to personality. When the computers detect two students who had an argument before, alone in the locker room, alarms go off. Security rushes to the scene… only to find the two talking to eachother.

Now what happens if the chips made it so the students would never get into that situation. Who would decide where it would disallow human experience versus where it would prevent a future problem? Technology was developed as a tool, but we need to decide whose tool it is.

This seems ridiculous. Well meaning students will be monitored and those whom are not so well meaning can easily find ways to disable (temporarily or permanently) the device. I can think of several ways right now. To me, it seems to be DRM for children.

Dude, those evil student terrorists should be made to have a certain number tattooed onto their left wrist. This way they cannot commit any crimes. For further measure, they should all be forcibly converted to Judaism, rounded up and shot. That will stop them from being Terraists.

America, Fuck Yeah!!!

Does this mean that the guards will shoot anyone breaking out, I mean leaving school early?. Why not just chip children the way we do with pets while we’re at it?
“Parents, do you wonder where your children are?, just go online and find out via GPS!”. This could be the next ad for another asinine program as this one.

perhaps the chip should be in a yellow star?

So as well as having there finger prints on record they now have radio transmitters on them. what purpose do these spy chips serve? sounds like more government money wasted.

perhaps they should be fitted with a tazer as well so any school kid who is late for class can be electrocuted.
