    This is scary as hell.... it can id soldiers and make Robotic guns zoom right in them.

    The implications of this are absolutely terrifying to me.

    The range is 4 feet. If the robot gun is 4 feet from you then you are the operator, not the target.

    What implications? I could see how this would be great for ranchers.

    If the soldiers are injected or tattooed with this it would be easy for the enemy to conceal traps and automated guns... their solders walk by... nothing ours and a machine gun trips the sensor.

    I wonder sometimes if the idiots running this country have thought out their idea of microchipping everybody for identification purposes. They won't say
    it (yet) but that's their goal. It would become very easy for a hostile entity to identify secret agents, wouldn't it? The person has an ID chip, he's an American agent, and boom, he *was* an American agent. Chip readers are
    not really high tech, and they're cheap enough that most every veterinarian around here has one.

    A right, like a RFID triggered IED. That would be bad for sure.
