Bill would ban implanting microchips in people [View all]

Sen. Becky Harris, R-Las Vegas, on Monday called for passage of a bill prohibiting anyone, public or private, from requiring installation of a microchip in another person.

Harri told the Senate Judiciary Committee 10 other states have enacted similar legislation because of concerns about privacy, protection of people’s rights and a variety of ethical issues. She said private sales of those Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) chips are growing rapidly and that the chips come in a $100 self-installation kit with the chips themselves the size of a grain of rice.

She said employers in two European countries have started requiring employees to be “chipped”.
