You got the tense correct...was....and getting less so every day.
I lost my cell phone couple of years ago and thought I'd just re-activate the old one.
No go...no GPS tracker on it.
Yet another piece of my property *stolen* from use by new laws.

One "good" thing about all this...if you DO want to vanish....just put "yourself" on a bus to Detroit and hoof it to the hills.
They'll be chasing the technology and not your stinkin feet.

Even when you pay cash, everybody wants your phone number...for warrantees and returns, of course and convenient for that at that...but.
 Any info stored can be accessed by anyone in the secret loop.
Nobody makes you validate the number...yet.
..and no one makes you show an ID when you do to the doc...yet.
You can still make things up.
Like my shoppers name, Payto Cash. I get a funny look because it's pronounced so much like Screw You, but they write it down. You can tell it rattles the cage a bit, like...why did that guy say screw off and what do I do now? Should I call security? Why do I suddenly feel like I have bars all around me?
Gee, that guy walked off with my fantasy door!   Inner scream....SECURITY!!!!

...now for that Alien implant...not all that deep.

So what aren't "they" telling you?
Might want to look around a bit closer.

UK right?
..cameras on every corner?
 Face recognition software humming along.
Registered TVs ?
BBC approved content?

The  Santa Clause...it knows if you've been naughty or nice.

At least Americans can still get enough firepower to get themselves killed.
..and you don't have to go to a "store" to do it...and if you do.
Buy and trade 3 or 4 times...used to have one of those, haven't seen it in a long time though.
 Musta walked off with the other 800 million. [Sorry 'bout those records]

Last year my sister got coupons tailored to exactly what she purchased, but didn't ever fill anything out. Rude awakening, they scanned her purchase history. In addition, the CDC "Sort of" let out that they used these shopper/check cards to track down people that purchased potentially tainted meat. So we KNOW govt has access to this data, when they want it. So if I purchase Hummus, am I a terrorist? Surprising, it has been alluded that they want RFID listed under the patriot act to force people to accept this, and the tracking it involves. (with legal mandate)

My mother was in a library in a rural county checking out a book called "American Prophet", a red screen came up when the clerk scanned it. The clerk called another clerk and said "You have to call that number". They did, and had to give the person on the other end my mothers personal information, and then a "Code" that would allow them to move past that screen. For the next week my mother said she got strange calls trying to ask her survey questions about this or that, and said her number is unlisted, and nobody but family tends to know it.
