IF the linked article is indeed factual, this bothers me. Tire manufacturers supposedly have started putting "chips" in tires.. They say that this is a GREAT way for the manufacturers and dealers to "keep track" of them; to know where they are in a warehouse, or in storage facility, etc. Isn't that a GREAT idea........ I also have some ocean front property in Arizona that I am selling really cheap. With a chip in your tires, guess who can track ANYWHERE you go, and how long you stay there. They can track how many miles you drive, and how fast you drive. Remember a couple of months ago, when Nancy Pelosi and some of her swine ilk, suggested taxing people by how many miles they drive. This would make it really easy for the Government to determine that. I concur with the author of the linked article below. This is specifically and ONLY, to allow the Government or some other group, to track you. Your car insurance company can track how fast you drive, or if you stop at liquor stores often. Stores can track where you go shopping. A private eye hired by your spouse can track if you have been at some stray woman's house for an hour or two every afternoon instead of playing golf, like you told your wife. Local LEO can determine if you speed a lot when on the road. And then they can be alerted when you are headed somewhere, and be waiting for you. I am sure the LEO will at some point say, "Oh, if your car is stolen, this will allow us to find it for you quickly." And as the Government ALWAYS claims, "it is for your SAFETY." Yeah, right. But putting them in the tires is very clever. If you put a chip just about anywhere else on a car, a person with the right sensing tools might be able to find it, and remove it. But in a tire; if you dig around for it, you are potentially damaging it enough to have a flat at some point. I know millions of people chip their pets, which I think is good. I was under the impression that you can chip your kid, as a measure if they are ever missing for some reason. I guess you can put a chip in anything. But I think that chipping a private citizen's vehicle tires, is something that somebody is going to take advantage of. And you may think I am paranoid, but I BET, that many electronic devices made overseas, have a similar chip in them, that would allow somebody to access your computer, phone, or whatever.... just in case they needed to.
