This time around they are going to take a GPS coordinate on your doorstep:

Then, they'll be able to do all sorts of things!
Considering the fact that I don't have a physical address (I don't live near a road) and even the local addressing authority hasn't been able to come up with one, I doubt the census flunkee is going to do any better.
To help, maybe I won't fix the rotten boards on the 150' long swinging bridge they'll need to cross to get here. The thirty foot drop to the creek is, how should I say it .... inspiring?
GPS can enable electronic evesdropping on your phone, can filter out satellite tv and cellular phone service from entering the co-ordinants, block internet access, shut off your electricity, smack you with missiles........ You raise a good point.
All these great electronic ideas are beneficial to mankind but only when used with good intent. Putting that ability into the wrong hands could make the iron curtain seem transparent.
What a wonderful world we are entering!

Well, I am making an addition to my will "toot sweet".
If a hellfire missile ever comes through my front door, I know who did it!
