I don't think you can be doing a very good job because Australian Passports already have RFID tags in them.

mind numbing boredom + speed + coopers on tap + water that causes dementia = nutcases who become serial killers and age very quickly, whilst beating each other up whilst watching TV for lack of other things to do.

Before anyone else wastes their time working out the origin of this obviously bullshit story, it originally came from lifesitenews: http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007/jul/07073008.html
LifeSiteNews.com's writers and its founders, have come to understand that respect for life and family are endangered by an international conflict. That conflict is between radically opposed views of the worth and dignity of every human life and of family life and community. It has been caused by secularists attempting to eliminate Christian morality and natural law principles which are seen as the primary obstacles to implementing their new world order.

To be honest, I don't actually listen too JJJ in the morning too much aymore, so my opinion is probably not that up to date.

Delta and Brian harassed by a cyber stalker on twitter...BOOOO FUCKIN HOOO.

I could not for either of these two dregs on this planet.

They've consulted 'security experts' about the stalker.

I could imagine the discussion.

Delta: "Someone is stalking me and Brian on twitter".

Security guy: "Well...maybe stop using twitter? You'd probably be better off without it."

PROBLEM SOLVED
