You got it bass ackwards.
Adopting biometrics and survellience secuity will ensure a 1984 nightmare.
Adopting all the biometrics and survellience security in the world will not deter another 9/11 event.
The arguments against biometric/survellience make as much nonsense as the arguments against gun ownership. Both are necessary tools for law enforcement and protection. We need the best protection available today. Polls show overwhelming support (demand) for this technolgy
Bob Barr was the biggest outspoken opponent of biometric/survellience in Congress. He lost big time. So will others who oppose it. Libetarians will say Barr lost because he is against drug abuse. I don't think so. You guys make good points, but will not win on this issue.
