GPS on drugs? - samintx - 01-16-2013
I'm hearing snatches of NY or someone putting a GPS on drugs. If the pharmacy takes them off when you buy them OK. If used for thieves steal and ability to track from business OK with that. but not OK with my meds being tracked when I have an RX for them.

I think a GPS on drugs is what that Croatian lady had.

I doubt it.
It would interfere with the tracker that was injected with your childhood immunizations.

samintx... commercially available tracking tools are bigger than that. GPS enabled, even more so. Lots of problems with pain meds getting hijacked or redirected into the black market. Loss control methods will exist.
Unless you're buying case quantity, the pharmacists usually repackages your meds into a prescription bottle.
S'OK.

Expensive - batteries - nah.
Now RFIDs for shipment and inventory purposes - that is another issue and probably already used in some places.

Down... RFID's are not the 'global surveillance system'. Require antennae to track 'em... usually have to be reasonably close (like a few feet). It's always funny when actual science gets in the way of conspiracy theories.
