If it becomes a major initiative and then they make it so that it takes 5 hours to go through passport controll unless you give them your retinal scan/voiceprint/fingerprint/dna, I will do whatever it takes to kill that initiative on constitutional grounds. In my line of work, we handle confidential personal data, but we have a heavy onus on privacy. So if one of my subordinates sees a grow-op or a meth lab (while on the job) and reports it to the police, not only can he end up in jail for 6 months, but I'll make sure he gets sentenced to the maximum amount of time and that he gets the additional fine of $1000. Then I'll show up at the parole hearing to make sure he/she doesn't get out early. It's time to draw a line and tell both the governments and the corporations "no more".
