Could the US government make RFID chips mandatory in all people in the country?

IMUS B asked:


I’ve heard of RFID chips being in laptops, cars, cell phones, credit cards, passports, licenses, license plates, electronic tags on store merchandise etc. People also are chipping their pets and some are chipping their children (voluntarily) but could the government mandate it? If so, how soon can we expect it?
