Civil liberties...?

Just read a frightening article. I cannot believe would actually want this in our society.....bar code our kids!!!! Really?? Well why not? after all we do it for our pets?? Elizabeth Moon apparently would like all of us to be bar coded.
She said  “I would insist on every individual having a unique ID permanently attached — a barcode if you will — an implanted chip to provide an easy, fast inexpensive way to identify individuals,” she said on The Forum, a weekly show that features "a global thinking" discussing a "radical, inspiring or controversial idea" for 60 seconds .

What do you think?
