   With the degree that fascism has been adapted into the mainstream 
of "modern" behavior this becomes a new key to really control everyone by a 
select few. I suspect such technology already is deployed under the auspices 
of " national security" with non but a few being privy to it.
"They" become "god!"
  Work place control. Voting machines. Airport security. Job interviews. 
School administration. National borders. Police interrogations. Prison 
administration. Probably in due time traffic intersection scans, and of 
course by that time license plates will contain chips. Orwell was right on 
target. Erich Fromm's book titled "Escape from Freedom" is a very 
enlightening read.
Onward into hell
