They are "chipping" politicians in Mexico...so they can be found if

[LittleApple81]

they are kidnapped... But then the kidnappers could cut their arm to avoid detection?
This is just too, too weird!

(Note: chipping is the term used to describe putting a chip on pets to be able to locate them).

1. Thank God! I was thinking of "Fargo" when you said "chipping"

What a relief!!

2. There is always a lame excuse but the real goal is

to make it palatable to the masses and eventually require all of us
to have them for constant real time government surveillance

3. But for us they probably will implant it in the brain. No cutting of arms

will help us, by golly.
