[ To someone from the first century AD who didn’t really understand what was happening at these checkpoints it might look like the forehead and back of the hand were being examined.

That is a beastly speculation....
I’ve thought this since the biometric ID scanners first came out years ago.
That it will be tied to ‘us’ universally (everything about it) in order to prevent terrorism and ‘fraud’ is a fait accompli at this point. It’s just a matter of implementation. No more credit cards to get lost or stolen, no more medicaid/medicare fraud, no more identity theft. That’s how we will be ‘forced’ to accept it. Those who do not will have to live in the stone age at a subsistence level growing and producing everything they need themselves. No medical care w/o it either.
