It's a simple matter for police or the citizenship inspectorate to stop somebody, photograph their eyes, record their voice and perhaps even get a digital image of their fingerprints.

We did that in Irag. The troops have a hand held device that records it all. Too many "Mohammad's" otherwise.

[or to prison if they are Osama bin Laden].

Agree with everything you said, but the image of OBL watching cable TV in a VIP cell, with a neatly trimmed beard and all lawyered up - rubs me the wrong way.... :)

And then we could have a database documenting where every one is at all times in real time. But then that's so 1984.

Yeah - just scan their dna, look them up in the health care database and deny service because they're genetically predisposed to some disease and they should just "take a pill".

Hey Mq, ye of little vision. All we need is to upgrade traffic cams so they can identify everyone in the car at a red light, and have a patrol car at the next signal snap them up in case they have been naughty.
