‘Barcode Everyone at Birth’, Says Science-Fiction Writer Elizabeth Moon

The BBC gives her a platform to pontificate.

If I were empress of the Universe I would insist on every individual having a unique ID permanently attached – a barcode if you will; an implanted chip to provide an easy, fast inexpensive way to identify individuals.

It would be imprinted on everyone at birth. Point the scanner at someone and there it is.

{Shudder} Her last name is most appropriate, because she really is a loony.
