"Stay In View, Please." **
I picked up my brand-new whiz-bang security ID this morning. Among other things, it contains a scary chip which purports to hold "certain minimum personal information" about me. I'm sure that the truth is it also contains a GPS beacon, a wireless mic and some kind of sooper-sekret brainwave reading device.
I'm also sure that the next generation of ID's are going to be carried not on badges hung round our necks, but in chips inserted subcutaneously within our temples. In addition to all the other whistles and bells, these also will contain tiny explosive charges that, when detonated (pursuant to proper protocol and due process, of course), will cause fatal brain hemorrhage.
Security, y'know.
One thing I know for sure about my new badge: It proves conclusively that it is possible to get a goofier picture of me than the one on my old badge. And I'm stuck with it until 2014.

Hmmm.... Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors episode with Pierce Brosnan as an Hal-like house AI?

Well played, sir.
