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]

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.

situation. 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.
