OH. HELL. NO.

The final intrusion. The government coming on your property and telling you you have to basically let them prod you.

Now, a new can of worms has been opened. Home inspections, and such can only be around the corner.



Freedom? What freedom? Nanny-state loving a$$holes.

All the nanny loving commies on this board will think this is super-duper swell. It might save them some money on insurance, so this can't be bad. We need to be healthy, after all!
I dread to think what their next little plan will be.

But of course - think about it - many accidents happen "in the home", and just as your local fire department has the authority to check for various violations in businesses and public buildings, I'm sure some are thinking there should be checks of homes, because it's "for the children".

Note that I'm not saying Fire Department inspections are not needed - the FD's certifications are a necessity, however I think people will hold them up as a poster child.

While I agree with your sentiment, it's not quite that bad yet, there's no mention if you can opt out, but I'll bet there is. It's also not every resident, it's a sampling of the populace.

I'd be interested to see them *force* people to give blood and hair (dna) without being under arrest (samples for job applications are voluntary), and that would probably lead to the mother of all Supreme Court cases, to determine is we actually "own" our blood and DNA, and wether the Feds or anyone else can demand it, regardless of reasons for needing it.

I think such a case is needed, because it's going to have to be determined eventually. We have the right to tell yellow vested folks who show up at our doors and want blood and hair samples to pound sand, but the thing to watch for is when we lose that right, and that ball is still in play...I hope.

I guess laws mandating "cameras in every room of every home" aren't that far off after all. Hell, they may as well create a real-life telescreen and mandate THOSE as well.
