Very valid views which are probably held by a lot of the public.
However, if something like this looks like coming in, does anyone seriously think the general public will mobilise (march, protest) to prevent this?
I seriously doubt it - the degree of apathy that seems to afflict us nowadays is shocking.
As a society, the more we seem to advance technologically, the more willing we seem to be to having our civil liberties infringed upon.
It's only a matter of time before some national db comes into existence to which additional elements can then be added to - DNA, travel history etc.
Would I protest? No.
Why? Because it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference!
