Frankly, I'm very terrified at the prospect of being tracked in my every move and it seems entirely unavoidable. License plate scanners are already in wide deployment. There was an article on HN last week about the FBI's 100 million strong facial recognition database using peoples drivers license photos without their consent or knowledge. Not to mention the wholesale tracking of our online activities by the NSA which is already a done deal. I'm seriously thinking about leaving the US to buy myself some time. I'm not hopeful that anywhere will be safe in the end as other countries catch up with this technology. What can be done if this isn't the world you want to live in?
