#3 In Peking, they're sounding her death knell.
Miss Liberty leaves the condemned cell.
"Well, thanks for your help.
Please, a few final selfies?
I'm ready now. All's well that end's well!"

But yeah, mostly what y'all said.

#5 They are pretty good at this sort of thing. For years they have been working on stuff to track cars, so they generally can find out where you have been if they feel like it, and also as a result there is not much need for traffic cops: If you mess up they have it on camera. They also have some kind of RFID thing going on, but not exactly sure what that is yet, maybe just commercial vehicles. This is just the next step. It's not really a horrible idea. There is no privacy here anyway with so many people.

#9 The Future, where face recognition
Will satisfy modest ambition --
Stand out from the crowd,
But not more than allowed --
As it fixes your social position!
