'As commonplace as the barcode,' claims a new report from NBC News, discussing the microchipping of children — and potentially adults, as well — as an inevitable technology in our future. 

NBC's report seems innocuous enough, capitalizing on 'every parent's worst nightmare' scenario — their child suddenly is nowhere to be found — to push the supposed benefits for injecting kids with microchips. Lost children, or those who are abducted, could easily be identified to allow their safe return home, the propagandic report asserts. 

"If it'll save my kid, there's no stuff that's too extreme," says mother of four, Steffany Rodriguez-Neely, in an interview for the NBC report. "Microchipping would be an extra layer of protection, if something bad does happen."
