[ale] Off topic - tin foil not needed in Georgia?

[Lightner, Jeff]

Roy Barnes' TV ad made me curious so I looked it up and found:

in-georgia/

 

While I agree with many in that forum that this probably wasn't the best
use of Legislature time I don't agree that this is only "science
fiction".   It really wouldn't be that hard to do such implants in a
person that was under general anesthesia for some other surgery.   Of
course having all the doctors complicit in something that didn't earn
them money seems unlikely.   

 

Proactive legislation isn't really new.  There are several states that
have outlawed use of DNA as a screening tool for insurance or jobs.  Of
course the movie Gattaca suggests there would be ways to avoid strict
adherence to such laws.
