"TOTAL RECALL" - Arnold Schwarzenegger looks back at his films

Who remembers that film? Total Recall, where Arnold had been brainwashed about his experiences mining on Mars and was sent back down to earth, given a new life ( and sexy wife ) and had a RFID chip emplaned in his brain to track his movements.

Well it seems that experience did have an impact on the Californian Governor!!  

 

As of yesterday it is now illegal now for California employers to force anyone to have an RFID device implanted under his or her skin as a condition of receiving something—such as a paycheck or government benefits or a trip to Mars.. 

Arny signed Senate Bill 362 yesterday, prohibiting the forced implantation of RFID (radio-frequency identification) chips. This will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2008. Clearly RFID technology is not, in and of itself, the issue. RFID is a minor miracle in some ways, with all sorts of good uses, but forced 'tagging' of humans would not be good.

I guess that Arny will not have to make a run for it just yet...
