Readers may be interested to see the archaeology of previous government projects to track citizens at the Fuchs’ brothers website which has an eerie set of photos of the Stazi’s secret rooms where they stored files on every person in East Germany (and even jars containing underwear used to identify people by the smell). If the technology had been around then, they would certainly have been building a National Identity Register and DNA swabbing everyone they could. The images are a haunting portrait of a dangerously paranoid government. See more at the Fuchs’s site
