Prepaid cell phones should not be regulated by law to get registered for tracking. I have an iphone that i greatly enjoy and use for various things like going checking the weather, email, playing games,etc. However, after learning about how to government is using our cell phones to get information about us is a scary thought. The thought of your every location being recorded or monitored is also a scary thought people should have the right to a cell phone and not be tracked if they wish to do so. I do understand why the government would want to be in control of all cell phone activity for the safety of our country. But if a criminal wanted to get their hands on an unregistered phone it would not be that difficult, if registering them was indeed a law.
In other words not all people who buy prepaid cell phones or use prepaid cell phones are criminals they are just people who possibly can afford a high end cell phone or someone that wants to protect their privacy. And criminals are not going to follow the law anyway so why should the government put a regulation on something that will affect the privacy of the citizens they are trying to protect. In this case i think the bad outweighs the good and i would not support this law.

The first thing i would address when discussing chips being implanted in children under five is what happens when they are older than five or even when they become adults? Do you then take the chip out? There comes a time in a persons life when they need to start making their own decisions and take responsibility for themselves, while at the same time parents need to start trusting their children to take care of themselves. Implanting a semi-permanent tracking chip into a child seems a little outrageous. I do however think that it would be a good idea to have chips built into shoes that would allow parents to know where their children are yet they have the ability to leave the chip at "home" if necessary like when a child gets to a certain age. The same idea goes for elderly people having the ability to track them with shoes but also knowing when not to track someone is important.
In general i think that implanting chips into a person to be able to track them pushes the limit of trust when it comes to teenagers and privacy and parents should respect that.

Hello everyone, I'm Hillary. I am not very familiar with blogging so this will be a new experience for me. I actually have never had an interest in blogs so this will be sort of like a test of whether or not i actually like the idea of a blog!
