Adios

Amazing. The OP is incredibly terrifying to anyone who loves liberty and this thread is now about teevee.

Welcome to the brave new world, where you can everything, except privacy and justice.

Somehow I prefer the grimy old world, where you at least had some room to breathe.

Nowadays you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a product placement or newsletter. I can't imagine what it would be like having your every eyeball movement tracked by marketing companies.



I'm pretty sure marketers watch very carefully what people look at while you're on their private property, shopping.

Now they'll just have tons more information to connect with these observations.

You know, to make their stores more "relevant" and "satisfying."

Shit, you're right. It's horrifying. Horrifying and predictable.

I wonder about the rights of the blind in a society using this iris scanner system. Everyone else would be oppressed, sure, but how well would someone with cataracts fare? Or someone missing their eyes? As horrible as a heavily security-focused society is, it's even worse if you require the possession of a body part just to enter or leave your own house. This stinks of Darwinism.

EDIT: I suppose the eyeless would simply have to opt out by default. And become second-class citizens. Everything about this is wrong. There's absolutely no justification.

O my.  Well, they can't all be liberal Demos, I guess...

John Lovitz is now a teabagger.  He's also stopped being funny.  Just like Dennis Miller.

Not a coincidence.

that is factually incorrect.

He was never funny to begin with.

True, but sunglasses can be clubbed off your face, so that's not really a deciding issue.

Agreed, but this shit'll do fine in the interim. I just wish they'd go ahead and start doing the cybernetic implants. I want my cyber arms.

Assuming they come up with something along these lines, were are convicted shoplifters supposed to shop?  Currently they only get banned from the stores they shoplifted from.  Default removal of right to engage in commerce seems awfully stiff punishment for a misdemeanor.

I think you're right, but not because of the versatility, but because we are apparently hellbent on having the worst security possible.

as I read it, they aren't bared from entering a store because of a shoplifting conviction at another store, just flagged for intense scrutiny.
