In fact if you used to go into woolies as I did and just pass the till when someone has the till open there will be signals sent from your card to it even if it just says that you are not buying anything. A kind of good house keeping signal. Moreover there is the distinct posssiblity that lamp posts can be used and I believe the Home Office have decided to do this so they can "better police" certain areas at night. It will be sold to us as catch a burglar or something with a neat title. So they will watch for the rfid signals then ask for an identifying number and get it from the card. How this man gets printed in a national newspaper is laughable and embarrassing and dangerous. Regarding guns -- it is because the govt knows that we can't do anything against them that they are going ahead with these wretched policies.

Perhaps you could tell that to one of the innocent Guantanamo inmates. I'd rather not take the chance and allow the government to get higher up the "scale". Moreover surely the "lower" infringements on liberty permit and facilitate greater abuse. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear right?
