1. I know one thing. I am tired of my picture taken whenever I walk into a store. In order to buy a bolt at that mess of a store(the big orange); my picture is taken multiple times. It pisses off customers like myself, and every year for as long as I can remember, the majority of theft is internal. The worst offenders are Management.

I think you will see a rise in people wearing desquises? Or, maybe an Indian will eventually sue the offending store on religious grounds? (steal the soul)

Yea, I'm rambling, but I sometimes feel like we lost all privacy? And yes, this is the only site I comment on anymore. I don't even trust this site. I bet they are logging in all IP's, and saving them just in case the government comes a knocking?

I feel rather similarly about number plate scanning for cars. My local supermarket lost literally £10,000+ when they installed scanners on their car park a while back and we took our custom elsewhere as a direct result. I don't know how much they make in fines, but I expect my family alone cancels out everything they made for a while after introducing the cameras. (And yes, some of that chain's stores did get pulled up for trying to charge fines that weren't justified after installing similar cameras. It made the local paper, with resulting PR about as good as you would expect.)
