After they grope your genitals and scan your barcode passport, they will then have all the face recognition imagery linked directly with your fingerprints. If they want patsies on certain flights, they can pick from everyone on the plane. If they want to means test you, they have much more information to grab out of the database. But, hey, the fuel economy is a big plus.

Mr2 tries to talk sense to the PROTESTORS, but these things are much harder for city dwellers to comprehend, let alone cope with. They are far more dependent on the grid and the infrastructure than all the rest of us, and far more likely to fight for the very thing that keeps them that way....

I guess, while we're on the subject of fascist insects, I should report that THE ACTIVIST POST has been restored. I'm on the fence about this... whether it was an accident or on purpose... since I feel the odds are about equal for each scenario... but at least it hasn't been of the character of wildly overblown reports of police brutality on Wall Street.
I know, I know, they're trying to start a revolution and I want one so WTF am I bitching about, yadda, yadda, yadda, and if I'm just sitting here in front of my monitor, how dare I complain, yadda, yadda, yadda, but, seriously, the cops aren't even in their riot gear; they're taking people down almost as though they were replacing babies into their cribs; and I can't even tell if they actually maced a couple of screaming women or not... but, please, it's ritual protest, talismanic protest, a circus, and even if there are hopes to grow it into the spark of the Second American Revolution, THERE IS NO COGENT PLAN FOR THE PROSPECT OF SUCCESS. So even if you are inclined to take that shit seriously, it's just lethal, even in the most optimistic course of events.
And Mr2 makes the sterling point. This all boils down to the have nots fighting with the haves to have more. Even if we win we lose. The way to win for real is to love each other, support each other. That way we either create a world where these parasites simply cannot operate, without any plan beyond plain old unbreakable human solidarity, or we provide an atmosphere in which a beneficial, meritocratic, leadership might develop to keep the parasites neutered for good.
