I dare say in a few generations there will be a post or virtual discussion somewhere along a similar vein about a similar emergent monitoring technology.
Technology marches on, whether we want it to or not.
Oh, and in regards to chips, I give it ten years at most...and stuff in the water...probably already happening.

I agree and I wonder what law abiding citizens are worried about. As you say technology marches on. Try to live without a cell phone, computer, bank card etc. It can be done but to what end. It's a part of life and will be more and more. The younger generation thinks nothing of it.
I also wonder about catching a potential terrorist by this kind of monitoring. A really dumb terrorist maybe. Since this is public knowledge it would certain that precautions would be taken. And if they do prevent an attack all the better. Security comes at a price. And if your the kind of person who worries that you are going to be dragged off by men in black uniforms, well there are two choices. The blue pill or the red pill.
