I cannot even go in my local co-op anymore without my face being scanned and looked up against some 3rd parties nobhead database. I've done nothing wrong but still object to the presumption that I might do something wrong in the future. :)

I'm so glad I couldn't give a fuck about this stuff.
I can't imagine the kind of mental distress it must cause to those that feel targeted by it.

Thank you for your input.
You are exactly the type of people they need to ensure a smooth transition to the digital prison.
I'd rather stick an unexpected item in the bagging area.

Don't listen to Edwards, he's clearly an idiot.
I bet he's still got a credit card, mobile phone, utilities contract, YouTube account, email address, and at least one web-based retailer that he uses regularly. He's basically a walking beacon for surveillance, and probably thinks that not having a Facebook account means that he's basically invisible to Big Data. Moron!

I love the analogy of the authoritarian sitting on our backs directing us where they want, and if we try to wander off course they stick the spurs in. I get the impression Edwards is a placid pony who is quite happy to be ridden.
