Who Needs the FBI?

Don’t worry about FBI or CIA snooping. Let’s save ’em the trouble and do it ourselves! As I headed to Russia I read an article in the Sunday Times (London) titled “Electronic detective keeps tabs on roving family.” It starts this way: “A wall-mounted screen that allows busy families to keep track of each other’s movements is being tested by Microsoft. Researchers call it the ‘Whereabouts Clock.’ They say it was partly inspired by a magic clock that appears in the Harry Potter novels.” Bottom line: A flashing Technicolor screen, linked to mobile phones (inert or active), will feature personalized icons displaying the up-to-the-nanosecond location of one and all.

Hey, why not an implant at birth?
