British Rail are a funny lot, so we're right to think it.

Well...Monty Python, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Dave Allen, Billy Connelly, Frankie Boyle, ...

Don't forget about Jimmy Savile, Jim Davidson, Freddie Starr and Jason Manford!

And you have Margaret Cho, Tim Allen, Lisa Lampanelli, and Dane Cook...
...and a TV industry that takes a funny UK show, leeches all the humour out, sets it in the US and wonders why it doesn't work!

Mind you, you also have Reginald D. Hunter so it's not all bad.
Except he's over here...

Rumors of Wars[^]
A faith-based movie about what could happen when the gov't stages terrorist attacks to take control of the population, forcing them to get RFID implants. A cheezy low-budget movie, but I can't help think it's somewhat prophetic, at least, the gov't eventually forcing everyone to get these implants in order to obtain food stamps, medical care, jobs, etc. Obama-care is just the beginning. Yeah, I know, I should take it to the soapbox.

wouldn't happen, not saying the government wouldn't try and RFID everyone just that the project would overrun by 10 years, not work and would be eventually cancelled at huge cost
nice little earner for the company that got the contract though (strokes chin and wanders off looking thoughtful)

I have a cryptographically secure phone.
It's the original motorola razr flip phone.
The battery only holds a charge for 2 minutes and even when it's on it gets no reception.
Try tracking me on that.
