The US State Department has said that RFID-chipped passports will not be issued to travelers “until privacy-related concerns have been addressed.” Initial public feedback was overwhelmingly negative, and much of it was posted in entirety on the State Department’s website — including name, email address, and phone number of objectors who submitted comments by snail mail or email. Boing Boing reader Aaron Peterson says, “Way to go, thanks for addressing our privacy concerns by posting the personal information of everyone that had feedback on the subject!”
But buried within those many citizen comments is this gem:
No mark of the beast for me you Luciferian beehivers. You can take all
those RFID chips wrapped like a burrito in the HR 4(6+6+6) national id bill
and stick it up yor own arse!Jesus is the way, not the antichrist of the beast system. Read God’s
words in the Book of Revelation lest your soul is burned in hell. The
great test is upon us all…

There has been an established link between the anti-RFID movement and fundamentalist Christians for quite a while now. One of the leading opponents of RFID as a mean of identifying individuals is Christian media publisher Thomas Nelson, who this month released The Spychip Threat: Why Christians Should Oppose RFID Technology and Surveillance. This book follows up on Nelson’s earlier Spychips release. This was mentioned in Wired a while back: Link.
