Patent #5,878,155... (read more on HNN, or the direct link to the patent
office is
http://patents.uspto.gov/cgi-bin/ifetch4?ENG+PATBIB-ALL+0+946309+0+7+25907+O
F+1+1+1+PN%2f5%2c878%2c155 .

I'd speak out against it, but then again they'd just brand a "social
devient" logo on my arm, now wouldn't they?

Does anyone have idea as to what the laws regarding this is? I assume it's a
"if  you want to pay, from now on your gotta have a barcode on yer butt,"
because it's strictly commercial... but aren't there some kind of laws
preventing this?
