False Hopes for Gps Implants

Hand sized global GPRS tracker. In this format it is implanted in a Jacket but a little American ingenuity and maybe a Terrorist gut cavity and mix with a fake prison break or a nice incompetent paper shuffle giving cover and sit back and see what dots are connected whalaa.

Is it an option for parole/probation Domestic issues I hope not and even if it somehow did get past the major MAJOR red flags of tagging citizens does getting caught really bother criminals anyway? Deterrence works but what good is a tag on a criminal short helping the cops rearrested quicker? Deterrence would be like a Death Sentence for all Murder, Rape, Kiddy Fuckin period.

#1  Heh. I kinda sorta figured people were conflating RFID and GPS.

However, are we going to let the mere fact of its non-existance stifle our demands that this technology be used to implement our goal of a perfect nanny-state utopia? Inquiring, but stupid minds want to know!
